[Verse 1]
C
Flying saucers all around my head,
C G/B Am G F F
Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin,
Em Dm
Well it’s been a long long time,
C Em Em7
Since I achieved a mighty oneness with the din.
 
[Verse 2]
C
I sometimes wonder if I strike one down,
C G/B Am G F F
Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin,
Em Dm
Would it leave a gap that’s big enough,
C Em Em7
For me to dash right through and leave my skin?
 
[Verse 3]
C
And if so where would it attach itself?
C G/B Am G F F
Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin,
Em Dm
To some unsuspecting boy,
C Em Em7
Who’s felt the shell of his protection wearing thin?
 
[Verse 4]
C
So this is me choosing to let it be,
C G/B Am G F F
Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin,
Em Dm
Because no one ever said,
C G G7
To wear a crown you also have to wear a grin.
 
[Chorus]
Em E Am
We’ve all got our own,
F G
When the lightning and the thunder,
E Am Am
Come to plunder what you’ve grown,
Em E Am
We’ve all seen the face,
F G
Of the dizziness of business,
E
That’s spinning round,
E
And spinning round,
E
And spinning round,
E* Am
And all around the place.
 
[Outro]
Am G/B C
C C G/B Am G F
Flying saucers all around my head,
Em Dm C Em Em7
Ooh, ooh, oooh,
C C G/B Am G F
Flying saucers all around my head,
Em Dm C Em Em7
Ooh, ooh, oooh.
