Rock, Dust, light, star. He plays some sort of Am-chord here live, but
on the album, I think it's just Riff 2.
Verse 2. It's the same as verse 1, but the second time you play riff 2,
play it longer. Leads into Chorus 2. That's kinda the same as 1.
At the end of verse 3, he starts playing a solo.
'There's no place left, for my wounded soul...'

version 2
INTRO:
A
Yeah baby rock dust light star.
A
And it's coming at you baby, coming at you baby!
VERSE:
Em D C
I'm a man on the moon,
Bm Am
Hope I don't come back too soon,
D
Am I the only one to see a light?
Am D
No use in gettin' down upon your knees tonight.
Em D C
So daft in love,
Bm Am
Cos' I got no faith,
D
I've seen those twisted lies thrown back into my face,
Am D
I've heard the crazy doctrines of the human race.
A --> Riff goes G/A A, G/A A A
Must be alone.
Em D C
How could it be?
Bm Am
Your gift to me,
D
Send the rifle and artillery (?)
Am D
There's nothing 'bout your war, and you can call it what you like.
Em D C
I know where I'm from,
Bm Am
And it's cold and dark,
D
'Cos all the sinners are just sage without a spark,
Am D
I'm having trouble telling them apart.
A
Oh yeah.
CHORUS:
C Em D A
Comin' at you rock dust light star,
Coming at you baby,
Thirty six thousand miles away,
C Em D A
Rock dust light star,
Comin' at you baby,
What you made of what you are!
VERSE:
Now look and see,
Those stars for you and me,
Waiting like silent candles in the night,
Atomic nations, you can never fight.
I've never felt,
I've never prayed,
I don't have to join in with the other slaves,
I'm not the only one who feels betrayed.
Oh yeah.
See the part of me invalid,
I'm going against the grain,
I won't be born again,
Salvation's coming from on high!
Coming at you baby, through the sky.
CHORUS:
Rock dust light star,
Coming at you baby,
Thirty six thousand miles an hour,
What you made of what you are.
VERSE:
I'm a square pig in a,
In a round hole,
Maybe there's no place left for my wounded soul,
Maybe the King of Kings finally lost control.
SOLO (IN A PENTATONIC)
CHORUS
INTRO-STYLE BIT
THEN PLAY CHORUS EXCITEDLY.
THEN THE INTRO IS THE OUTRO.
