[Verse 1]
F# C#
Wake up you sleepy head
D#sus4 D#m
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
F# C#
Put another log on the fire for me
G# D#
I’ve made some breakfast and coffee
F# C#
Look out my window what do I see
A#7
Crack in the sky
D#m F#7 B
and a hand reaching down to me
G#7 C#
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they’re

[Break]
F# Cdim C# A#7 D# A#7 Fsus4 F
here to stay

[Verse 2]
F# C#
What are we coming to
D#sus4 D#m
No room for me, no fun for you
F# C#
I think about a world to come
G# D#
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
F# C#
Written in pain, written in awe
A#7 D#m
By a puzzled man who questioned
F#7 B
What we were here for
G#7 C#
All the strangers came today
C#7 F#
And it looks as though they’re here to stay

[Chorus]
F# A#m
Oh You Pretty Things
D#m C#
Don’t you know you’re driving your
B7 F#
Mamas and Papas insane
A#m
Oh You Pretty Things
D#m C#
Don’t you know you’re driving your
B7 F#
Mamas and Papas insane
G#7
Let me make it plain
C# B F#
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

[Verse 3]
C#
Look at your children
D#sus4 D#m
See their faces in golden rays
F# C#
Don’t kid yourself they belong to you
G# D#
They’re the start of a coming race
F#
The earth is a bitch
C#
We’ve finished our news
A#7 D#m F#7 B
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
G#7 C#
All the strangers came today
C#7 F#
And it looks as though they’re here to stay

[Chorus]
F# A#m
Oh You Pretty Things
D#m C#
Don’t you know you’re driving your
B7 F#
Mamas and Papas insane
A#m
Oh You Pretty Things
D#m C#
Don’t you know you’re driving your
B7 F#
Mamas and Papas insane
G#7
Let me make it plain
C# B
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
