G5                               C5
Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun
  G5        C5             G5       C5 
A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience
G5                 C5         A5
Call him a Nazi he wont even frown
D5   C5            G5          C5
Nazi schmazi says Wernher von Braun

 
B5                    E5
Dont say that hes hypocritical
    B5               E5
Say rather that hes apolitical
G5                          C5                     A5
Once the rockets are up who cares where they come down
      D5     C5               G5          C5
Thats not my department says Wernher von Braun


G5                             C5
Some have harsh words for this man of renown
    G5             C5               G5        C5
But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude
         G5                     C5          A5
Like the widows and cripples in old London town
    D5              C5           G5          C5
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun


B5                   E5
You too may be a big hero
           B5                            E5
Once youve learned to count backwards to zero
   G5                       C5            A5
In German or English I know how to count down
       D5           C5        G5          C5
And Im learning Chinese says Wernher von Braun
