• Bb

Intro: Bb Bb C F G C F G

Bb                   F                    C
I was waiting in the express lane with my twelve items or less
Bb                             F             C
At the checkout counter at the local grocery store
Bb                 G
I was only passin' by
C                     F
But a paper caught my eye
Bb                         F            G
And I learned a few things I never knew before

Bb                   F             C
It said your pet may be an extraterrestrial
Bb                         F               C
It said the ghost of Elvis is living in my den
Bb                         G
You can learn to cope with stress
C                F
You can beat the IRS
Bb                             F            G
And the incredible frog boy is on the loose again

C   F        G
Oh, Midnight Star
C           F               G
It's in the weekly Midnight Star
C           Am*             F              D
Aliens from outer space are sleeping in my car
F                      G             Bb
Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know

Bb        F                   C
Eat jelly doughnuts, and lose twenty pounds a day
Bb                    F                  C
Hear the story of the man born without a head
Bb                   G
And top psychics all agree
C                  F
That the telephone company
Bb                                 F                     G
Will have a brand new service that lets you talk to the dead

C   F        G
Oh, Midnight Star
                          C              F               G
You can believe it if you read it in the weekly Midnight Star
C               Am*            F              D
They're keeping Hitler's brain alive inside a jar
F                      G             Bb
Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know

Solo: C F G C F G


Am                               C
Tell me, tell me, tell me how to make my bust-line grow
F                      G
Midnight Star, I wanna know
C   F        G
Oh, Midnight Star
                            C                         F               G
Well, don't you know that I read it, I read it in the weekly Midnight Star
C             Am*               F                   G
The UFOs have landed, and we'll tell you where they are
F                      G             Eb
Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know

Eb  Ab       Bb
Midnight Star
              Eb                       Ab              Bb
Well, you can read all about in in the weekly Midnight Star
Eb               Cm*    Ab            F
You can use your ESP to learn to play guitar
Ab      Bb            Eb
I wanna know, I wanna know


Ad infinitum: Ab Bb Eb


* = Optional chord; Not present in Weird Al's version but I think it sounds better with it on acoustic.
