verse 1 

E                       
Well it took some time,  
                        Amaj7 
Cause it's a lot God, it's a bunch 
                    A                   E 
It's such a big, old, black golden buzz 

verse 2 

And yeah it took some help 
                                   Amaj7 
With lots of machines, the experts could tell 
        A                            E 
With their equipment pushed to the max... 

verse 3 

E                        
And sure it seems easy now  
                  Amaj7 
But I tell you what we were perplexed 
             A                        E 
Finding the needle in needle's disguise 

BRIDGE 

A                            
And now that it's conceived,  
 E               F#m            B  
The station has all settled down, 
              A               
And I'm sort of relieved, 
  E   B                     E 
And I'm getting over it now
