intro: A G D

verse 1:

A G

I'm a member of an ape-like race

D

At the asshole end of the twentieth century

A G D

This film's a thriller of the mind

A G D

Will we destroy our homes, release ourselves from the

Weights of gravity

A G D

I'll be amazed if we survive

A G D A G D

Low low low low..... low low low low low, etc...

(same simple chord progression throughout)

verse 2:

This race to space

We'll learn to release ourselves from the weights of gravity

Our highs are higher than our lows

This world's a state of mind

I can hear your thoughts much too clearly

From slime to ape, we'll learn to fly

Low low low

Oh, we're so powerful

Watch these giants collide

So individual, will we ever find peace of mind

Low low low

note: this song sounds best when strummed

at a constant fast pace.

a simple (but not accurate) attempt at the main riff:

e----------------------------------

----------------------------------

-------5-7----7-5--8-5---5--------

5-5-7------------------7----------

----------------------------------

E----------------------------------

hope this helps!
