VERSE 
E 
All of those wild American bilinguals 
    Dsus2                A/E             E 
Who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives 
E 
School days and last days out there in the Midwest 
     Dsus2                     A/E          E 
They climb on their liners and rejoin their wives 


BRIDGE 
Bm 
Walking down boulevards electric eyes 
      Cmaj7 
Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size 
E                                    E break 
Let them be lonely and say you don't care 


Chorus 
     Cmaj7    D/E 
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade 
     Cmaj7    D/E 
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

E 
Una with long hair will stand by your side 
        Dsus2                         A/E          E 
And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride 
E 
Chromium pets that video screens would show 
Dsus2                    A/E           E 
Pictures of helplessness old kings and queens 


BRIDGE 
Bm 
Radio stations that fade as in dust 
Cmaj7 
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust 
E                                    E break 
Let them be broken and say you don't care 


Chorus 
     Cmaj7    D/E 
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade 
     Cmaj7    D/E 
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade 
     Cmaj7    D/E 
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
