Tonart: D minor•
Intro 1
No one would have believed
In the last years of the nineteenth century
That human affairs were being watched
from the timeless worlds of space
No one could have dreamed
that we were being scrutinized
As someone with a microscope studies
creatures that swarm and multiply
in a drop of water
Few men even considered the possibility
of life on other planets
And yet, across the gulf of space
Minds immeasurably superior to ours
Regarded this Earth with envious eyes
And slowly and surely,
they drew their plans against us

Dm
C
At midnight, on the 12th of August
A huge mass of luminous gas erupted
Dm
from Mars and sped towards Earth
Across two hundred million miles of void,
C
invisibly hurtling towards us
Came the first of the missiles
that were to bring so much calamity to Earth
Dm
As I watched, there was another jet of gas
Dm
It was another missile, starting on its way

A
Dm
And that's how it was
Bb
Am
for the next ten nights
A flare, spurting out from Mars
Gm
Dm
Bright green, drawing a green mist behind it,
Dm
A
a beautiful but somehow disturbing sight
A
Dm
Ogilvy, the astronomer,
assured me we were in no danger
Dm
A
He was convinced there could be
A
Dm
no living thing on that remote,
forbidding planet
Chorus 1
C
Dm
"The chances of anything coming from Mars
Bb
Dm
are a million to one" he said
C
Dm
"The chances of anything coming from Mars
Bb
are a million to one"
Verse 3

(come)
A
Dm
Then came the night the first missile
approached Earth
Dm
A
It was thought to be an ordinary falling star
But the next day there was a huge crater
A
Dm
in the middle of the Common,
and Ogilvy came to examine what lay there
Bb
Am
A cylinder, thirty yards across,
glowing hot,
Gm
Dm
and with faint sounds of movement
Dm
A
coming from within
Suddenly the top began began moving,
A
Dm
rotating, unscrewing
Dm
And Ogilvy feared there was a man
A
inside trying to escape
A
He rushed to the cylinder but the intense heat
Dm
stopped him before he could burn
himself on the metal
Chorus 2
C
Dm
"The chances of anything coming from Mars
Bb
Dm
are a million to one" he said
C
Dm
"The chances of anything coming from Mars
Bb
are a million to one"
C
Dm
But still they come
Chorus 3
C
"Yes, the chances of anything
Bb
Dm
are a million to one" he said
C
Dm
"The chances of anything coming from Mars
Bb
are a million to one"
