| A  | D  | G  | D  | 2x


[Verse 1]
        A
From the Arizona desert
      D
To the Salisbury Plain
 G
Lights on the horizon
 D
Patterns on the grain
A
Anxious eyes turned upward
  D
Clutching souvenirs
 G
Carrying our highest hopes
D
 And our darkest fears


[Verse 2]
       A
They swear there was an accident
D
 Back in '47
G
 Little man with a great big head
D
 Splattered down from heaven
A
 Government conspiracy
D
 Cover-ups and lies
G
 Hidden in the desert
D
 Under endless skies


[Pre-Chorus]
              Em
Well, it's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
 G
Post, postmodern world
 Em
No time for heroes, no place for good guys
 G
No room for Rocky The Flying Squirrel


[Chorus]
             A
They're not here, they're not coming
    Em
Not in a million years
           F#m
Turn your weary eyes back homeward
            E
Stop your trembling, dry your tears
         A
You may see the heavens flashing
         Em
You may hear the cosmos humming
        A/C#
But I promise you, my brother
             D
They're not here, they're not coming


[Instrumental]
| A  | D  | G  | D  |


[Verse 3]
          A
Would they pile into the saucer
        D
Find Orlando's rat and hug it?
      G
Go screaming through the universe
D
 Just to get McNuggets?
      A
Well, I don't think so, I don't think so
      D
It's much too dangerous, it's much too strange
 G
Here in a world that won't give Oprah
  D
No home on the range


[Pre-Chorus]
              Em
Well, it's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
 G
Post, postmodern world
       Em
No authenticity, no sign of soul
     G
The radio won't play George and Merle


[Chorus]
             A
They're not here, they're not coming
    Em
Not in a million years
         F#m
'Til we put away our hatred
         E
'Til we lay aside our fears
         A
You may see the heavens flashing
         Em
You may hear the cosmos humming
        A/C#
But I promise you, my sister
             D
They're not here, they're not coming


[Bridge]
         G
To this garden we were given
    D                 A
And always took for granted
      G
It's like my daddy told me
         D                     A
"You just bloom where you're planted."
         G
Now you long to be delivered
           Bm
From this world of pain and strife
          F#m
That's a sorry substitution
        E
For a spiritual life


[Solo]
| A  | D  | G  | D  | 2x


[Pre-Chorus]
              Em
Well, it's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
 G
Post, postmodern world
 Em
No place for sentiment, no room for romance
G
 Bring back the Duke of Earl


[Chorus]
             A
They're not here, they're not coming
    Em
Not in a million years
 F#m
Turn your hopes back homeward
 E
Hold your children, dry their tears
         A
You may see the heavens flashing
         Em
You may hear the cosmos humming
        A/C#
But I promise you, my brother
             D
They're not here, they're not coming
             A
They're not here, they're not coming
    Em
Not in a million years
         F#m
'Til we put away our hatred
     E
And lay aside our fears
         A
You may see the heavens flashing
         Em
You may hear the cosmos humming
        A/C#
But I promise you, my brother
             D
They're not here, they're not coming
