Hanson - Man From Milwaukee

C#m D# F#m C

verse :
– – – –
C#m F#m C#m F#m B C#m

it started at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere
sitting beside me was a man with no hair
from the look on his face to the size of his toes
he comes from a place that nobody knows

chorus :
– – – –
D# F#m B

maybe i’m hallucinating , hyperventilating ,
letting this big – toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
maybe i’m hallucinating , hyperventilating
if you asked me now then i couldn’t tell you why

C#m D# F#m G#m

i’ve been sitting here too long by a man from milwaukee
he’s been talking too long on his yellow walkie talkie
he’s been talking to mars , but i think he’s wacky
he says they’ll come get him , come get him some day

verse 2 :
– – – –
C#m F#m C#m F#m B C#m

he says that where he’s from is called albertane
there they use more than 10% of the brain
but you couldn’t tell it from they way they behave
they run around in underwear and they never shave

chorus :
– – – –
D# F#m B

maybe i’m hallucinating , hyperventilating ,
letting this big – toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
maybe i’m hallucinating , hyperventilating
if you asked me now then i couldn’t tell you why

C#m D# F#m G#m

i’ve been sitting here too long by a man from milwaukee
he’s been talking too long on his yellow walkie talkie
he’s been talking to mars , but i think he’s wacky
he says they’ll come get him , come get him some day

( spoken freely )
this is mother bird calling baby bird
baby bird come in , come in baby bird
for the love of pete come in!
this is baby bird . . . sorry i was watching court tv
do you copy? do you copy?
of course we copy . . . 24 hours a day . . . in color

verse :

C#m F#m C#m F#m B C#m

you wouldn’t believe me if i told you the rest
the man sitting by me who was barely dressed
flew off to milwaukee or perhaps albertane
and left me at the bus stop just barely sane

D# F#m B

maybe i’m hallucinating , hyperventilating
if you asked me now then i couldn’t tell you why

C#m D# F#m G#m

i’ve been sitting here too long thinkin’ about milwaukee
i’ve been talking too long on my yellow walkie talkie
i’ve been talking to mars , you might think that i’m wacky
i know they’ll come get me , come get me someday
i know they’ll come get me and take me away
i know they’ll come get me , come get me someday
if not tomorrow then maybe today . . .

i tuned my guitar down , i used the tuner and hit the flat button and tuned that way . it
sounds just like hanson’s guitars on the acoustic version of middle of nowhere . if the
tuning i speak of isn’t really “half a step down” please lmk – i’m still learning about
that kinda stuff . thanks .
