G D G Am G D G D G C D
[Verse]
G D Em
If I built a rocket in the garden
Am G D
A budget way of public travelling
G D Em D
Maybe there's a vacancy at NASA with a salary
C D G
For singers losing confidence to sing
[Verse]
G D G Em
And I scavenged for fuel for ideal velocity
Am G D
50 miles up I earned my wings
G D Em
I built a helmet from an unused fishbowl
C D G
And a duvet for my parachute landing
[Verse]
G D G
I promise that I won't be gone for too long
G C G D
I just want to feel the loss of gravity
G D Em
Is there any way to feel this weightless?
D C
Without a ticket to Israel
D G
And go and swim in the Dead Sea
[Verse]
G D G
So I built a rocket in the garden
G Am G D
And I scheduled the launch for Sunday eve
G D Em
Experience one beautiful or bit
G
With the optimism that
G C D G
I'd still make it home for tea
[Verse]
G D Em
If all goes well I'll be the first of many
Em Am G D
Pion eers of DIY astronomy
D G Em
Adventurers of the great beyond
Em G
I can hear the slogan in the song
C D G
The sky's no limit to me
[Instrumental as intro]
Am G Am G D G D C D G D
[Verse]
G D Em
I think I need to build a bigger rocket
Am G D
One with a second seat right next to me
G D Em D
You can be my lovely navigator
C D G
And I can offer you the world for free
