[Intro]
E F# B G#m (x3)
E F# B
[Verse 1]
B D#
Check the covers for spiders,
E B
Before you go crawling in bed
B D#
You longed to lie down beside her
E B
And bled ideas in her head
B D#
You are children of angels
E B
And you're living in sin
B D#
Well, they've got just the place for
E B
The kind of trouble you're in
[Verse 2]
E B
And her hair smells like flowers
E
You're counting the hours
B
Between thundershowers
E B
Unleash your new superpowers
F#
Don't be a coward
[Verse 3]
B D#
Did you come to remember?
E B
Or did you come to for-get?
B D#
You went looking for Jesus,
E B
And found the devil in-stead
B D#
So many con-victions
E B
About life after death
B D#
But you just can't believe in
E B
any single one of them
[Verse 4]
E B
And it's all on your shoulders
E
It feels like a boulder
B
And you're just getting older
E B
The universe seems to grow colder
F#
Each time you be-hold her
[Chorus 1]
E F#
Alpha-man, father of everyone's children
B G#m
The King of the Kingdom of Man
E F#
Do you father your sons and your daughters?
B G#m
All of them follow your every command
E F#
You sire them all on your own
B G#m
Then you kick them all out of your home
E F# B D#
Alpha-man, tell all your children to leave you alone!
E F# G#m
Alpha-man, tell all your children to leave you alone...
[Solo]
G#m F# E F# G#m F# E F# B F# E F# G#m F# E F#
[Verse 5]
E B
Tuck the old folks into their new homes
E B
Watch the skin slip off of their bones
E B
Watch out for pigeons on telephone poles
F#
They will shit all over your clothes
[Chorus 2]
E F#
Alpha-man, father of everyone's children
B G#m
The King of the Kingdom of Man
E F#
Do you father your sons and your daughters?
B G#m
All of them follow your every command
E F#
You sire them all on your own
B G#m
Then you kick them all out of your home
E F# B D#
Alpha-man, tell all your children to leave you alone!
E F# B D#
Alpha-man, tell all your children to leave you alone!
E F# B D#
Alpha-man, tell all your children to leave you alone!
E F# B
Alpha-man, tell all your children to leave you alone!
