And the parts go with the lyrics as follows: Intro: Part 1 (2x) Part 2 (Up to Em) Part 1 (He's) back in town, with the biggest show around, Part 1 Strike up the band, it's time for Astral Man. Dm C Am Dm C Am Part 2 To know where he'll be landing from his tightrope in the sky, Dm C Am Dm C Em Am (Part 2) To know if he will make it, close your eyes, watch and learn, Em Am Em Part 3 (Astral Man), (turning) in relation to the ground, (learning) Am Em Am (Part 3) Please remember what you see (returning) to get back down to Earth. Part 1 Astral Man, our race for his _____ands, Part 1 Thrill's own band, his antics know no bounds. Dm C Am Dm C Am Part 2 To know what he'll be doing on his tightrope in the sky, Dm C Am Dm C Em Am (Part 2) He thrills the little children, close your eyes, watch and learn ... (Repeat the chorus, of course. The third verse skips the chorus, and ends directly on Am.) Part 1 Astral Man, acknowledges the plans, Part 1 People clap but they appreciate his _____ands. Dm C Am Dm C Am Part 2 He bows toward the people and leaves the ring behind, Dm C Am Dm C Em Am (Part 2) Hoping he has given money's worth, down to Earth. transcribed by checkman@math.gatech.edu.
