G5 C5 Eb5 F5
That November night, looking up into the sky,
You said,
G5 C5
"Hey, wish that was me up there--
Eb5 F5
It's the biggest rocket I could find,
Eb5
And it's holding the night in its arms
F5 C5
If only for a moment.
F5 Eb5
I can't see the look in its eyes,
C5 F5
But I'm sure it must be laughing."
G5 C5
But it seemed to me
Eb5 F5
The saddest thing I'd ever seen,
G5 Cm2
And I thought you were crazy,
Eb5 F5
Wishing such a thing.
F5 Eb5
I saw only a stick on fire,
F5 C5
Alone on its journey
F5 Eb5
Home to the quickening ground,
C5 F5
With no one there to catch it.
G5 C5
I put on my pointed hat
Eb5 F5
And my black and silver suit,
G5 C5
And I check my gunpowder pack
Eb5 C5
And I strap the stick on my back.
F5 Eb5
And, dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge--
F5 C5
Nobody seems to see me.
F5 Eb5
Then, with the fuse in my hand,
C5 F5
And now shooting into the night!
3X: C5 Bb5 F5
Eb5 F5 C5
F5
And still as a rocket,
C5
I land in the river.
Eb5 G5 F5
Was it me said you were crazy?
2X: C5 Bb5 F5 G5
C5 Bb5 F5 G5 C5 Bb5 F5 G5
I put on my cloudiest suit,
C5 Bb5 F5 G5 C5
Size 5 lightning boots, too.
Bb5 F5 G5 C5 Bb5
'Cause I am a rocket
F5 G5 C5
On fire.
Bb5 F5 G5 C5 Bb5
With my tail on fire,
F5 G5 C5 Bb5
Tail on fire,
F5 G5
On fire.
C5 Bb5 F5 Eb5 C5
Look at me go, look at look at me
