Tuning: Standard 



G7                               C
Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun
  G7        C             G7       C 
A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience
G7                 C         A7
Call him a Nazi he wont even frown
Dm   C            G7          C
Nazi schmazi says Wernher von Braun

 
B7                    Em
Dont say that hes hypocritical
    B7               Em
Say rather that hes apolitical
G7                          C                     A7
Once the rockets are up who cares where they come down
      Dm     C               G7          C
Thats not my department says Wernher von Braun


G7                             C
Some have harsh words for this man of renown
    G7             C               G7        C
But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude
         G7                     C          A7
Like the widows and cripples in old London town
    Dm              C           G7          C
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun


B7                   Em
You too may be a big hero
           B7                            Em
Once youve learned to count backwards to zero
   G7                       C            A7
In German or English I know how to count down
       Dm           C        G7          C
And Im learning Chinese says Wernher von Braun
