Hello Chalkhills,

This is my attempt at Where Did The Ordinary People Go?!  I'll be honest,
I'm not 100% sure on it, I think the F#m in the bridge could be F#m7 and I
can't figure out the very last bit of the outro.  This should be good for
anyone, like me, who just wants to play along to the song though.  I hope
you don't mind, I nicked the transcribed lyrics and set the chords to them
to make it easier for everyone.  They don't match up perfectly, but it
shouldn't take much to catch on.  Thank you Colin Moulding for writing a
brilliant song!  I hope you can download the attachment, it's just a txt.
file.  Cheers!

Best Regards,
Robert Harrison Jr.
