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
