Rockets Tail

(início)

Gm                  Cm7   Eb                       F
That November night, looking up into the sky,
You said,
Gm                              Cm
"Hey, wish that was me up there--
           Eb                             F
It's the biggest rocket I could find,
                                            Eb
And it's holding the night in its arms
     Fsus4     Csus4
If only for a moment.
   F                                 Eb
I can't see the look in its eyes,
             Cm                 F
But I'm sure it must be laughing."
Gm                    Cm
But it seemed to me
Eb                       F
The saddest thing I'd ever seen,
Gm                              Cm2
And I thought you were crazy,
Ebmaj7  Fsus2
Wishing such a thing.
         F                     Eb
I saw only a stick on fire,
    Fsus2      Csus4
Alone on its journey
F                                  Eb
Home to the quickening ground,
        Csus4              F
With no one there to catch it.
Gm                            Cm
I put on my pointed hat
       Eb                 F
And my black and silver suit,
Gm                        Cm
And I check my gunpowder pack
       Eb                    Csus4
And I strap the stick on my back.
         F                               Eb
And, dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge--
    Fsus2              Csus4
Nobody seems to see me.
F                                    Eb
Then, with the fuse in my hand,
       Cm               F
And now shooting into the night!
3X:  Cm      Bb   F
       Eb       F     Cm
      F
And still as a rocket,
   Cm
I land in the river.
Eb      Gm                          F
Was it me said you were crazy?
2X: Cm     Bb  F   Gm
   Cm7         Bb         F         Gm     Cm     Bb     F     Gm
I put on my cloudiest suit,
Cm7                 Bb     F      Gm     Cm7
Size 5 lightning boots, too.
           Bb       F         Gm      Cm7     Bb
'Cause I am a rocket
F         Gm       Cm7
On fire.
Bb         F               Gm      Cm7      Bb
With my tail on fire,
F              Gm      Cm7     Bb
Tail on fire,
F          Gm
On fire.
Cm7                         Bb         F       Eb      Cm
Look at me go, look at look at me
