These tabs have been worked out by fans of the Conchords. Some have been sent in to me via email, others have been posted on the What The Folk forums and I have taken them from there. Some of these tabs can be found online elsewhere also. Some might not be exact, but please don't gripe if thats the case. These people took the time to work them out and share them. Thanks to all who did so.

If You're Into It - Thanks to Sandurz

Just two chords alternating: C and Am

C: 032010
Am: 002210

And on the part where Jemaine is detailing the various encounters with rhyming words, Bret just does quick little accented strums that are muted right after: C first, then Am

That rhythym you can hear easily.

She's So Hot... Boom! - Thanks to Nic

Brett's Part (Let all these notes ring):

E----------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------|
G--0-------h1--p0---h1p0-h1p0-h1p0---|
D----------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------|

Repeat the above section until...

The mandolin comes in (Just tremelo pick the notes to simulate the effect if you have a normal guitar):

e--3~~~h4~p3~~h4p3~h4p3~h4p3~|
B------------------------------------------------|
G------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------------|

Repeat this as well until he says (See ya shakin that boom boom (Who?)

Then repeat after this break-down to the end.

Jemaine's Part (He just plays the bassline on the low strings):

D-----------------|
A------5-------1-| x3
E-3-3----3-3---|

After the above section is played three times, Jemaine plays this:

D-------------------|
A------1------------|
E-3-3----3-3--2--|

Then the first section is played again.
You can mix it up by playing this:

D-----------------|
A------1------1--|
E-3-3----3-3---|

Now when the drums from Brett's guitar come in, the tempo increases, and Jemaine now plays:

D---------------------------------------|
A------5------1------4-----------------|
E-3-3----3-3----3-3----3-3-5h6-3-|

Repeat this as neccessary until the break-down when he just plucks the
low G note:

A-------|
E--3---|

Then the final part when the drums are pounding away and they are dancing is just:

A------4--|
E--3-3---|

Keep repeating until the end.

You can mix the bassline up by palm muting, pinch-plucking and/or plucking the strings from close to the bridge to create a bouncy sound.

Thanks to Kbob/Nic from the WTF! forum.

Bowie’s in space
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Bowie’s in spa-he-hase
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Whatcha doin’ out there, man?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
That’s pretty freaky, Bowie
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
What’s a rock musician doing out in space, man?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Isn’t it cold, quite cold out there, Bowie?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Do you need my jumper, Bowie?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Does the space cold do funny things to your nipples, making them all pointy? Bowie.
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9 Em7
Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antenna transmitting data back to Earth?
Cadd9 D Cadd9
Data back to Earth d-d-do, d-d-do, do do
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
I bet you do, you freaky old bastard, you.
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Is it lonely out there in space, man, or is there life on Mars?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Wouldn’t that be weird, ‘cause you wrote that song, “Is there Life on Mars”?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
You could write a follow-up tune and call it, “And There Is”.
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Mmmmm, and there is. Yes, there is.
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
There's heaps of it, and it's all freaking out at my new look.
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Bowie, do you have one really funky sequined space suit, Bowie?
Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 D Cadd9
Or do you have several ch-ch-ch-ch-changes? Space changes

Em7 Cadd9 D
Do they smoke grass up there, man?
Cadd9 Em7
Or do they smoke Astro-Turf?

How far out are you, man? I’m pretty far out

That’s pretty far out, man!

(fingerpicked, free feeling)

F G
Are you okay, Bowie? What was that sound?
G A
I don’t know man, I’d better turn my ship around.
A G
Oh, it’s the craziest scene.

G G#
Yeah, I’m picking it up on my LSD screen.

Ooh, but can you see the stratosphere…ringing…

To the choir of afronauts singing?
