Capo: 2nd Fret

INTRO:  [D]  [Em]  [G]  [A]  [D]  [Em]  [G] (x2)

It [D]started at a [G]bus stop in the [D]middle of [G]nowhere
[C]Sitting beside me was a [D]man with no hair
From the [D]look on his face to the [G]size of his toes
He [C]comes from a place that nobody [D]knows
 
CHORUS:
[Em]Maybe I'm halluci[G]nating, hyperventi[C]lating,
[C]Letting this big- toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
[Em]Maybe I'm halluci[G]nating, hyperventi[C]lating 
[C]If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why 
I've been [D]sitting here too [Em]long by a [G]man from Mil[A]waukee
He's been [D]talking too [Em]long on his [G]yellow walkie [A]talkie 
He's been [D]talking to [Em]Mars, but [G]I think he's [A]wacky
He [D]says they'll come [Em]get him, come [G]get him some [A]day 

INSTRUMENTAL:  [D]  [Em]  [G]

[D]He says that [G]where he's from is [D]called Alber[G]tane
[C]There they use more than 10 [D]percent of the brain 
But [D]you couldn't [G]tell it from they [D]way they be[G]have
They [C]run around in underwear and they never [D]shave 

CHORUS

BRIDGE:  [Dm]       [F]  [G]  
(Spoken Freely)
This is Mother Bird calling Baby Bird 
Baby Bird come in, come in Baby Bird 
For the love of Pete come in! 
This is Baby Bird...sorry I was watching Court TV 
Do you copy? Do you copy?
Of course we copy...24 hours a day...in color 

INTRO (1/2)

You [D]wouldn't be[G]lieve me if I [D]told you the [G]rest
The [C]man sitting by me who was barely [D]dressed
Flew [D]off to Mil[G]waukee or per[D]haps Alber[G]tane 
And [C]left me at the bus stop just barely [D]sane

[Em]Maybe I'm halluci[G]nating, hyperventi[C]lating 
[C]If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why 
 
I've been [D]sitting here too [Em]long thin[G]kin' about Mil[A]waukee
I've been [D]talking too [Em]long on my [G]yellow walkie [A]talkie 
I've been [D]talking to [Em]Mars, You might [G]think that I'm [A]wacky
I [D]know they'll come [Em]get me, come [G]get me some[A]day
I [D]know they'll come [Em]get me and [G]take me a[A]way
I [D]know they'll come [Em]get me, come [G]get me some[A]day
[D]If not to[Em]morrow then [G]maybe to[A]day...
