Tonart: D minor•
Verse 1
Dm
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

Verse 2
C
At midnight, on the 12th of August
A huge mass of luminous gas erupted from
Dm
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
Verse 3
there was another jet of gas
Interlude 2
It was another missile, starting on it's way

Verse 4
Dm
And that's how it was for
Dm
A flare, spurting out from Mars
Bright green, drawing a green mist behind it
A beautiful, but somehow

Ogilvy, the astronomer,
assured me we were in no danger
He was convinced there could be no

Forbidding planet

Dm
Then came the night the first
missile approached Earth
A
It was thought to be an ordinary falling star
Dm
But next day there was a huge crater
in the middle of the common
And Ogilvy came to examine what lay there
Verse 7
Dm
A cylinder, thirty yards across,
glowing hot
With faint sounds of movement
Dm
A
Suddenly the top began moving,
Dm
rotating, unscrewing
And Ogilvy feared there was a man
A
Dm
inside trying to escape
Gm
Dm
He rushed to the cylinder but
the intense heat stopped him
Before he could burn himself on the metal

Verse 10
Dm
It seems totally incredible to me now that
Everyone spent that evening as though
Dm
it were just like any other
From the railway station came
the sound of shunting trains
Ringing and rumbling,
softened almost into melody by the distance
Dm
Verse 11
It all seemed so safe and tranquil
