Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Probably tune down 1/2 step, not that it really matters that much
It starts out with this riff, actually played on a bass, but I play it on guitar anyway

 The riff is played under these lyrics
 Here I come to save the day
 There was a little boy in a dream just the other day
 His mind fell out of his face and the wind blew it away
 Then a hand came down from heaven and slapped a badge on his chest
 It said "Get out there, man, and do your best!"
 Then it's a couple of verses, shown here with the chords
And  they called him Astro Man
And  he's flying higher than
That  old faggot Superman
Forever cool
 They called him Cosmic Nut
 And he's twice as famous as Donald Duck
 And he's out to screw you up
 The rest of your life
 Enjoy!

Here I come to save the day

There was a little boy in a dream just the other day

[E]And they called him Astro Man
[E]And he's flying higher than    [A]
[A]That old faggot [E]Superman [B]

They called him Cosmic Nut
And he's twice as famous as Donald Duck
And he's out to screw you up
The rest of your life

Enjoy!
