Dragonfly

Dm
(Greetings ladies and gentlemen of 
Earth and all native intelligences 
of the forty planets
with contestants entered in the 
annual Grande Trex, the only 
inter-universe race.
This year’s event promises 
excitement to surpass all previous 
races.
As many of you fans know already the
 route or track of the race has been
 increased
by five thousand million kilometres,
 thus allowing the Grande Trex to 
include the B-Arc 15 system!)

[Verse 1]
Dm         C
Dragonfly, dragonfly
Bb         Dm
Satellite, strike and fight
Dm           C
Laser light, shot tonight
       Bb         Dm
Target nullified, gyro subdivide
Dm        C
Latitude, longitude
Bb         Dm
Satellite, solid substitute
Dm        C
Dragonfly are revise

[Chorus]
Bb                  C
What’s a drag race? Can’t you see 
those..
Bb               C
dragons speeding up the street?
Bb                 C
But I learned they weren’t real,
Bb              C                D
figments of the ancient sphere.


[Verse 2]
Dm          C
Rapid scan, radiance
Bb                Dm
for the chance to win the Grande
Dm          C
Manoeuvres, pre-program
Bb      Dm
Windage won’t operate.
Dm        C
Negative, bearing swell

[Chorus]
Bb                C
Dragons fly, they symbolise
   Bb            C
in myth and saga breathing fire
Bb                   C
Look up, there’s one flying higher
Bb              C
faster than the SSC
Bb                C
Is science hiding witchery?

Dm
(Grande Trex fans throughout the 
universe are well informed on the 
risks the pilots
take in entering this race. Re-entry
 into some of the alien atmospheres 
is tricky business
which can cause a craft to implode; 
explode; melt; lose atomic structure
 and so forth,
adding to the interstellar terrain 
that on its own is a terrific danger
 to the ships en route.
The craft are scheduled to launch at
 oh-seven-five-one-hundred Greenwich
 Mean Time
and assembled on one our very own 
stars, Neutron Einstar EV9. And the 
excitement is at a fever pitch
as the countdown approaches zero!)

[Chorus]
Dm         C
Dragonfly, rations glide
   Bb                      
in free fall slide, systems 
 Dm
nullified
Dm         C
Satellite, dragonfly
Bb              Dm
Surface launch, radio silence
Dm          C
Hover high, Level off

[Verse 3]
    Bb                 C
The time space tactics saved us then
   Bb             C
display report present urgent
Bb                 C
Sequence counting, surface launch
Bb            C
Dragonfly destroying all.
Bb               C                
Science claiming newest findings
Bb   C

Bb               C              
Chanting calling flying dragons
Bb   C

Bb         C
Aboard all systems optimum
Bb              C             Bb   C
Nova scheduled, war continued
Bb            C
Half the continental shelf
Bb        C
burned by interval
Bb   C
     interval
Dm
(We have retained as an added 
feature for daring thrills and 
excitement in this race—a feature
which I’m sure you’re going to 
like—a computer override lasting 
three and half and hours or two gens
in which pilots and copilots 
manually control free fall; 
latitude; longitude; protract 
gravity;
revise dimensional equations, run 
program checks, submerge in the wild
 oceans of Jonrin 22,
and photograph as much territory and
 terrain as they can in addition to 
the requisite
three thousand automatic shots. The 
postulate for mischance runs high, 
but not as high as the tension
and competitive spirit right here 
and all over the galaxy!)
Bb    Dm

[Chorus]
Dm         C
Dragonfly, dragonfly
Bb         Dm
Beacons aim, space game

(Countdown is negative two hundred 
and I am turning you over to the 
control room
and command central for the launch.)

Dm              C
Satellite, computerised

(Good luck to all the entrants and 
especially to our own ship, the 
Dragonfly!)
Bb                Dm
Sonic glide, hypersonic glide

(Beacons, lasers, quasars mounted on
 deck; rapid survey reactor; 
failsafe radians)

[Otro]
Dm            C
Win the race, calibrate
   Bb                      Dm
re-entry place, multi failsafe
