Play this all the song
I am a passenger
And I ride and I ride
Ride through the city's back sides
See stars come out of the sky
Yeah the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am a passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
See the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's red back side
And everything looks good tonight
Sing it
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la
Get into the car
We'll be the passengers
We'll ride through the city at night
See the city's red back side
See the bright and hollow sky
See the stars that shine so bright
The stars made for us tonight
Oh the passenger
How how he rides
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
Looks through his window
What does he see?
Sees the bright and hollow sky
Sees the stars come out tonight
Sees the city's red back side
Sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
It just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride
See what's mine
Sing it
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la
Sing it
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la
Sing it
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

version 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
Tuning: Standard
Tempo: 75
I play this using an octaver effect(bassy sound) with some overdrive and reverb. It can be a palm-muted for
better feel, but sounds OK also without it.
Intro riff - not sure if accurate, but close.

Guitar riff is simple. It contains two slightly different parts that are played in multiple configurations
during the song:
Part A
e|-----------------------|------------------------|
B|-----------------------|------------------------|
G|-----------------------|------------------------|
D|-----------------------|------------------------|
A|----4------------------|--------4---------------|
E|4-4---7-4-4-4-4-7------|----4-4---7-4-4-4-4-5-2-|
Part B
e|-----------------------|------------------------|
B|-----------------------|------------------------|
G|-----------------------|------------------------|
D|-----------------------|------------------------|
A|----4-----------4------|--------4---------------|
E|4-4---7-4-4-4-4--------|----4-4---7-4-4-4-4-0-2-|
That's basically it. Now the song as whole goes like this:

All the way to the end
I am a passenger
And I ride and I ride
Ride through the city's back sides
See stars come out of the sky
Yeah the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am a passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
See the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's red back side
And everything looks good tonight
Sing it
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Get into the car
We'll be the passengers
We'll ride through the city at night
See the city's red back side
See the bright and hollow sky
See the stars that shine so bright
The stars made for us tonight
Oh the passenger
How how he rides
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
Looks through his window
What does he see?
Sees the bright and hollow sky
Sees the stars come out tonight
Sees the city's red back side
Sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
It just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride
See what's mine
Sing it
La la la la la la
