The Space Race

      G              C
Well I wonder why it is
              Em               
that we have rascals rogues and 
  D
losers
           G              C       
We've got roustabouts rapscallions
        Em             D
 and a bucket load of boozers
           C               G      
We've got balladeers and blowhards
         D
 of all sorts
           C
We've got poets priests and pirates
D                   G
but we have no astronauts

G                   D            
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (x3)  oh, 
        G
oh, oh, oh,
G                   D
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh  (just listen
 to the song, it makes sense, trust 
me)

G
They say there was a space race
         D             G
if there was I think I missed it
G
From the earth up to the moon and 
back,
D                     G
doesn't that take the biscuit
D
Well I wouldn't mind a little ride 
in zero gravity
   C                               
as long as they could promise I'd 
  D
be home in time for tea

            C                  D
I've got me two good legs if I wanna
 take a trip,
C               D
I've got no use for a rocket ship
     C
I'll walk if you don't mind
           D
It's how I always get around
           Em             D
I might be staring at the stars
           C                G
but I keep both feet on the ground
G                   D
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                  G
both feet on the ground
G                   D
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                          G
I've got both feet on the ground
G                   D            
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh   Oh, oh, 
    G    G                   D
oh, oh   Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


          G
There's a great big giant vacuum
D               G
up there in the sky
G
Ah but where's the place to plug it 
in
  D                G
I think it's all a lie
D
I've heard of Halley's Comet, And 
I'll tell you what I think
      C                         
It's just a kind of chemical for 
 D
cleaning out the sink

G
We've got no use for Sputnik
           D             G
We've got sponge to go around
G
And you'll never see the shuttle 
land
       D                 G
on the streets of Newlyn Town
D
Well in the fields of "Vatimbly" 
there's not a launching pad in sight
      C                            
We've got no "Mersa voyageurs" and 
D
we turned out all right
