Transcribed by Mark Schnitzius ([email protected])
Fun song. Pick up your acoustic and give it a go.
Incidentally, this song is supposed to be about
Biosphere II.

C#m D A
I hung around
C#m D A
On the planet Mabel
Bm E
She tried to stand
C#m E
But she was not able
C#m D A
She tried to find the truth
C#m D A
She tried to colonize space
Bm E
She only had a few
C#m E
But it was a good race
D B A
Old Black Dawning is coming on
D B A
Old Black Dawning is coming on
D E
Old Black Dawning
C#m E
Old Black Dawning
I’m always happy to
Go down to old Tucson
After you had your fun
It’s time to move on
I’ve got a favorite story
About the Tower of Babel
Some say it’s true
And some say it’s a fable
Old Black Dawning is coming on
Old Black Dawning is coming on
Old Black Dawning
Old Black Dawning
