Hello Earth, Hello Earth...

C#m           F#m/A        B           C#m      G#m/B       C#m  G#/B

With just one hand held up high, I can blot you out, out of sight.

F#/A                    B

Peek-a-boo, Peek-a-boo, Little Earth.

C#m           F#m/A       B             C#m

With just my heart and my mind I can be driving,

C#m                         F#m/A

Driving home and you asleep on the seat.

 

B     A                   B                       C#m

I get out of my car, step into the night and look up at the sky.

             A               B

And there's something bright traveling fast.

                C#m                  G#m/B

Just look at it go.  Just look at it go.

C#m   G#m/B  F#m/A B

Hello Earth, Hello Earth...

C#m       F#/A           C#m

Watching storms start to form over America.

         F#m/A          B                                     C#m

Can't do anything, just watch them swing with the wind out to sea.

A           B                              C#m

All you sailors (get out of the waves, get out of the water)

All lifesavers (get out of the waves, get out of the water)

All you cruisers (get out of the waves, get out of the water)

         A         B         A    B

All you fishermen, head for home.

B     C#m

Go to sleep little earth.

      A                   B                          C#m

I was there at the birth, out of the cloudburst, the head of the tempest.

A         B           C#m                             G#m/B

Murderer, murderer of calm.  Why did I go?  Why did I go?
