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

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

They're keeping Hitler's brain alive inside a jar

Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know
