While you're playing this, experiment with seventh chords (all of these should be played
bar chords). I've tried to work this out from YouTube live recordings so it's not 100%.
INTRO:
A
Yeah baby rock dust light star.
A
And it's coming at you baby, coming at you baby!
VERSE:
Em D C
I'm a man on the moon,
Bm Am
Hope I don't come back too soon,
D
Am I the only one to see a light?
Am D
No use in gettin' down upon your knees tonight.
Em D C
So daft in love,
Bm Am
Cos' I got no faith,
D
I've seen those twisted lies thrown back into my face,
Am D
I've heard the crazy doctrines of the human race.
A --> Riff goes G/A A, G/A A A
Must be alone.
Em D C
How could it be?
Bm Am
Your gift to me,
D
Send the rifle and artillery (?)
Am D
There's nothing 'bout your war, and you can call it what you like.

Em D C
I know where I'm from,
Bm Am
And it's cold and dark,
D
'Cos all the sinners are just sage without a spark,
Am D
I'm having trouble telling them apart.
A
Oh yeah.
CHORUS:
C Em D A
Comin' at you rock dust light star,
Coming at you baby,
Thirty six thousand miles away,
C Em D A
Rock dust light star,
Comin' at you baby,
What you made of what you are!
VERSE:
Now look and see,
Those stars for you and me,
Waiting like silent candles in the night,
Atomic nations, you can never fight.
I've never felt,
I've never prayed,
I don't have to join in with the other slaves,
I'm not the only one who feels betrayed.
Oh yeah.
See the part of me invalid,
I'm going against the grain,
I won't be born again,
Salvation's coming from on high!
Coming at you baby, through the sky.
CHORUS:
Rock dust light star,
Coming at you baby,
Thirty six thousand miles an hour,
What you made of what you are.
VERSE:
I'm a square pig in a,
In a round hole,
Maybe there's no place left for my wounded soul,
Maybe the King of Kings finally lost control.
SOLO (IN A PENTATONIC)
CHORUS
INTRO-STYLE BIT
THEN PLAY CHORUS EXCITEDLY.
THEN THE INTRO IS THE OUTRO.
EXUENT WITH CHEERING CROWD.
