Tuning: ½ down
D - C /
(Lenny!)
D - Em7 /

D - C /
May we tell them the truth

Scientific, so scientific
D C7M /
But you were walking on glass
D - Em7 /
(Lenny!) How unstable we bolt with the horse
D - C7M /
Setting music to muscle
D - Em7 /
And the fallers will litter the course

(C6) - D Em7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
When you say that the sun does not move
D - C7M /
Did it show you the answer
D - Em7 /
When the ships do not fall off the world

Does it mean there's a wall there

He could be walking on glass

D C7M //
But he was walking on glass//
NB.
I think I hear a C6 chord but for playability, use C6 chord.
Since I play solo, I use a progression in chords during the song, from more open chords /
low fretting, to higher. In the song this does not happen that way: the higher notes are more accentuated
further into the song.
