John Powers - Fireboy

[Verso 1]

 A                                   C#m 
They say that the Starman missed the galaxy of Mars 
       D                              E 
Still searching for the Spiders I suppose 
          A                              C# 
It’s been just over a year and they’re searching for his ashes 
D                                  E 
Could be someone put them up their nose 
    D                               A 
And some of us are wondering was it real or was it staged 
         E 
How can someone who’s immortal up and die 
     D                                   A 
And back in the big city they’re still looking for the band 
         E 
That can make you laugh just like they make you cry

Fireboy puts away his clothes 
     D                      A            Em 
He’s outgrown them he don’t need them anymore 
D        A            E 
Fireman puts away his hose 
            Bm                                         E 
It’s a false alarm they won’t come breaking down your door 


[Verso 2]
 
A                            C# 
Minister tickles thinks the girls are pretty fickle 
D                                           E 
They were laughing at the time it was just play ( laughing at the time ) 
A                                       C# 
Some big men they are sweating Claim it’s only heavy petting 
         D                      E 
and she probably enjoyed it anyway (enjoyed it anyway) 
D                                A 
May be a kissing cousin but the headlines are all buzzing 
         E 
Could it be the big cheese is telling lies (lies) 
D                               A 
Arms they are a beckoning Gonna be a great reckoning 
E 
Starman looks down and rolls his eyes

[Verso 3]
 
A                            C# 
I’d like to reassure you even though they won’t insure you 
D                              E 
Compassion’s not a fashion from the past 
A                            C# 
It may be flabbergasting It sure deserves lambasting 
D                              E 
but it’s something that decency outlasts 
       D                     A 
To our new little man go do everything you can 
      E 
To illuminate the deepest of the skies 
     D                    A 
Life passes so quickly stems may be prickly 
E 
Blossoms they will soothe the weary eyes
