Lindbergh left Long Island in 1927
E F#m/E E7
Thumbed his nose at gravity
E A
And climbed into the heavens
D Cmaj7 Bm
When he returned to earth that night everything changed
G D/F# D/E E
For the pilot and the planet, everything was rearranged
A
We’re a pretty mixed up bunch
G
Of crazy human beings
E F#m/E E7
It’s written on our rocket ships
E A
And in early cave wall scenes
D
How does it happen?
Cmaj7 Bm
How do we know?
G D
Who sits and watches?
Bm A/C#
Who does the show?
Chorus
D A/C#
Some people love to lead
C G/B
And some refuse to dance
Gm/Bb D A7sus A7
Some play it safely, other’s take a chance
D A/C#
Still it’s all a mystery
Csus C
This place we call the world
E F#m
Where most live as oysters
G A
While some become pearls
A G
Elvis was the only man from Northeast Mississippi
E F#m/E E7 E A
Who could shake his hips and still be loved by rednecks, cops and hippies.
D Cmaj7 Bm
It’s something more than DNA that tells us who we are
G D Bm A
It’s method and it’s magic, we are of the stars
Chorus
D A/C#
Some never fade away,
C G/B
some crash and burn
Gm/Bb D A7sus A7
Some make the world go round, other watch it turn
D A/C#
Still it’s all a mystery
Csus C
This place we call the world
E F#m
Most are fine as oysters
G A
While some become pearls
A G Bm A
