Little Sophia Strange in ‘73 

Her daddy’s yelling tirades at the TV 
           Am   F  Ab Bb 
Hey man be cool

            Am 
But now she looks to the stars 
           Em 
Oh with an ache in her heart 
            F 
For now the man who rocked the world 
         C     Bm 
Is going home 
               Am 
She’s reaching up for a song 
           G 
Oh but the music is gone

For the man who rocked the world

Is going home

Big Johnny Butterfingers in ‘81 

Searchin the discos for that special someone 
           Am    F  Ab Bb 
It gets so tough

Feelin' the pressure under laser lights 

But his feet go magic dancin’ when the song is just right

Yeah that’s the stuff

Let’s dance, Johnny

Oh but the music is gone

Spaceman blasting away into the big black sky tonight

Smiling, riding a trail of stardust home

Because the man who rocked the world 
         C 
Is going home
