There was [D7] lightning in the desert and [Gm] explosions in the sky.  An [G] unknown flying object came [Cm] crashing to the Earth, And a [D7] cattleman named Brazel found the wreckage [D] in the [Gm] dirt\r\n  \r\n[Verse 2] - - - He [Gm] gathered up some scraps and then he [Cm] brought them into town, And the [D7] people gazed in wonder at the [Gm] marvel he had found.  [G] Called the county sheriff and they [Cm] called the air force base.  They [D7] called the DOD and then  they [D5] called the [C5] C<\/span> [A#aug] [D5,F#\/Em] I<\/span> [Gm] A<\/span>\r\n \r\n{ CHORUS } - LIGHT AND UPBEAT\r\nThere's [D#] big news today out in [A#] Roswell.  That [D#] sleepy New Mexico [D7] town.  And [Gm] Major Marcel, [G#] What can you [D#] tell us about [GmMAJ9]   [D\/Em] Roswell\r\n \r\n[Verse 3] - - - [Gm] Well, the Roswell Army Airfield sent their [Cm] finest personnel.  A [D7] rank and file officer was [Gm] young Major Marcel.  The [G] major told his story and it [Cm] echoed round the globe.  A [D7] flying saucer captured out in old New Mexico [Gm] \r\n \r\n[Verse 4] - - - But the [Gm] orders came from Washington, [Cm] materials were changed.  The [D7] town was hushed to silence and Mac [Gm] Brazel was detained.  They [G] scooped up all the evidence and [Cm] flew it to Fort Worth,  [D7] Staged a couple photos and the [D5] head-[C5]-lines [A#aug] were re  - [D5,F#\/Em] versed\r\n \r\n{ CHORUS } - LIGHT AND UPBEAT\r\nThere's [D#] nothing to see here in [A#] Roswell.  Just a [D#] torn-up old weather bal-[D7]-loon.  And [Gm] Major Marcel, Was mis-[G#]-taken as [D#] well about [GmMAJ9]  [D\/Em] Roswell.\r\n \r\n[Verse 5] - - - Well, the [Gm] years pass on in Roswell but the [Cm] story still persists.  [D7] Rumors turn to theories and then [Gm] theories turn to myth.  But [G] to his dying day the major [Cm] swore on all he had.  \"There's no [D7] way in hell the [D7] thing that fell was made by [D7] human [Gm] hands\u201d \r\n \r\n{ CHORUS } - LIGHT AND UPBEAT\r\nSo the [D#] mystery lives on out in [A#] Roswell.  That [D#] creepy New Mexico [D7] town.  And [Gm] Major Marcel, What [G#] couldn't you [D#] tell us about [GmMAJ9]  [D\/Em] Roswell \r\n \r\n[Outro] - - - [Gm] [D] [D7] [G] [D] [Gm] [GmMAJ9] \r\n\r\n<\/span><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
