HANSON- Man From Milwaukee
From The Album MIDDLE OF NOWHERE(c)
Transcribed by Jim Snodgrass. Send corrections to JAS466@PSU.EDU
Intro: E F#m A B E F#m A x 2
E A E A
It started at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere
D E
Sitting beside me was a man with no hair
E A
>From the look on his face to the size of his toes
D E
He comes from a place that nobody knows
Chorus:
F#m A D
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating,
D
Letting this big- toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
F#m A D
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
D
If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why
E F#m A B
I've been sitting here too long by a man from Milwaukee
E F#m A B
He's been talking too long on his yellow walkie talkie
E F#m A B
He's been talking to Mars, but I think he's wacky
E F#m A B
He says they'll come get him, come get him some day
E F#m A
Verse 2:
E A E A
He says that where he's from is called Albertane
D E
There they use more than 10% of the brain
E A E A
But you couldn't tell it from they way they behave
D E
They run around in underwear and they never shave
(Repeat 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
Solo:
E F#m A B E F#m A
E A E A
You wouldn't believe me if I told you the rest
D E
The man sitting by me who was barely dressed
E A E A
Flew off to Milwaukee or perhaps Albertane
D E
And left me at the bus stop just barely sane
F#m A D
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
D
If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why
E F#m A B
I've been sitting here too long thinkin' about Milwaukee
E F#m A B
I've been talking too long on my yellow walkie talkie
E F#m A B
I've been talking to Mars, You might think that I'm wacky
E F#m A B
I know they'll come get me, come get me someday
I know they'll come get me and take me away
I know they'll come get me, come get me someday
If not tomorrow then maybe today...

| This is a pretty weird song...I always laugh when I hear it because it's meant to be funny, kind of a satire of sorts. If you think about it, it's kind of making fun of all of those lunatics out there that seriously believe that aliens WANT to invade us. And if there is life out there, the most they would do is observe us, b/c they have no reason to attack us. OK I'm gonna stop rambling like an idiot now. | |
