[Verse 1]
G                                                 A7
    Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
           D7                           G
and then realized it was still dark outside
G                                       A7                             D7                          G
    It was a light coming down from the sky, I don't know who or why

[Verse 2]
G                                                   A7
    Must be those strangers that come every night
               D7                                  G
Those saucer shaped lights put people up tight
G                                                         A7
    Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
      D7                                  G
I hope they get home all right

[Chorus]
D              C                               Am
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along
      G
I won't do anything wrong
D               C                              Am                   D7             G
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along for a ride

[Verse 3]
G                                               A7
Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
           D7                               G
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
G                                       A7
Over my window, they'd written my name
             D7                               G
Said "So long, we'll see you again"

[Chorus]
D             C                                 Am
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along
       G
I won't do anything wrong
D              C                               Am                   D7               G
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along for a ride

(Instrumental)

[Chorus]
D              C                               Am
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along
     G
I won't do anything wrong
D              C                               Am                   D7                G
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along for a ride
