Official SPLIT ENZ Tablature & Sheet Music »
Another great Enz song. Works OK on the guitar but sounds better on the
piano.
Enjoy,

My love is alien, I picked her up by chance

VERSE 2:
The crackle of the radio, a message in the evening sky
You're looking at an interplanetary Romeo
I'll never see her face - between us there's too much space
Ooh hoo hoo
What more can a poor boy...
CHORUS (as before)
SOLO:
Em D Bm7 Am (x4, then) C Em
OUTRO: (Ad lib lyrics from chorus)
Am D G E (x8, then) C Em

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SPLIT ENZ tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
