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 [8 times]

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
