Beck Hansen (born Bek David Campbell, July 8, 1970) is an American musician, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Beck's music is known for its pop-junk culture collage of musical styles, ironic lyrics, samples, drum machines, live instrumentation and heady sound effects.
Beck was born in Los Angeles, California, to David Campbell (a musician and son of a Presbyterian minister) and Bibbe Hansen (a former dancer for The Velvet Underground, founding member of the satirical band Black Fag, and visual artist).

Pretty easy song... Don't know why there isn't already a tab for it, actually. The Eb's in the song, if you listen carefully, are really quick and are used more as a jump between the Bb and C# chords. If you don't feel like dealing with the barre chords, slap a capo on the first fret and the chords are A D and C. However, it sounds best if you play the C like X32013.
Intro: Bb (Eb) C# (Eb) Bb (Eb) C# (Eb) Bb (Eb)
C# Looking for a ladder In the stratosphere So I can be happy EbBb Let my bones melt away EbC# Stranded on a plane That was circlin' round I carry my heart EbBb Like a soldier with a hand grenade C# Walking down the aisle Of the supermarket Looking for the things for EbBb To carry my senses away EbC# Listen to a voice On the telephone Somebody's calling EbBb Somebody on the way EbC# Looking for a home In the magazine page Wages in my pocket EbBb Gonna buy me anything I need EbC# Searching for bait Battery light Wash me away EbBb Gaping at the oceans below C# I'm not scared 'Cause there's nobody there Mind is awake EbBb Anything could lead me astray EbC# Listen to the voice On the radio wave Somebody needs you Somebody who is EbBb On their way EbC# Ah-aaaaahhhhhh EbBb Ah-ooohhhhhhhh
That's that. Also: When the guitar comes in half-way through the song, you'll hear a second guitar playing
b|--1---1---1---1-- g|----3---3---3---3 For Bb and:
b|--4---4---4---4-- g|----6---6---6---6 for C#. Well, to be honest I don't hear the C# one but if you check out when beck plays it live, that's in there.
