Ballad Of Gordon

[G]There was [Bm]darkness, there was [C]light
There was [D]day and there was [G]night
There was [Bm]wrong and there was [C]right  [D]

A[D]nd then there was [G]me
You didn't even [Bm]know me but you [C]treated me like [D]dirt
And then there was [G]me
You didn't even k[Bm]now me but you [C]called me a j[D]erk
And then there was [G]mee[Bm]eeee[C]e  [D]

I'm from a planet near a star
You wouldn't know, it's very far
They're calling me the man from Mars

But I think they're insulting me
They tried to take my special suit
(Insulting me)
They say my head looks like fruit
(What is fruit?)
(Insulting me)
Put your hands up or I'll shoot!

I don't have [Em]hands
Across the g[D]alaxy, I f[C]lew
Heard a peaceful m[G]essage s[Bm]ent by y[Em]ou
Now I find you're j[D]udged by color and [C]size
I can't b[D]elieve what you called my...

I'm the guy who sailed the sky, but I think I'd like to live here
Like to share your mountains, share your trees and share your rivers
I've never seen so many beings of so many colours
I'd like one day for you to say that I could call you brothers

(And then there was we)
I'd like to learn about your pizza and your weather
(And then there was we)
Then we could learn about how beings live together
(And then there was we)

[Am]So if you're thinking about being a spaceman
It won't [C]matter if you're black or [G]white
Or [Bm]purple or [C]green or [D]blue or r[G]ed
Or [Bm]yellow with [C]polka dots [D]on your [G]head
Or [Bm]made of s[C]now, or [D]made of w[G]heat
Or [Bm]looking like [C]something that's[D] kind of a [G]treat
   [Bm]       [C]
I like your hat... [It fades out here, but you can just play the [Bm], [C], [D], [G]
progression a couple times until the end.]
