E                           A     
I was born on Halloween, in Roma, 
E
Italy
E                                 
Just another white boy staring at 
     B7
the stars
         E                      A 
And when I turned 39 me and the 
              E
boys we hit the sky
    A                    B        
And headed where they’d never been
   E      E7
 before

[Chorus]
A                        E
One small step for man, Jesus, 
Goddamn
E                       B7
22 hours hanging in the air
    E                       
Sometimes you take the fame, 
     A                 E
sometimes you sit backstage
          A                   B   
But if it weren’t for me them boys
                 E
 would still be there

[Verse]
E                           A    
When it came time to land, them 
                  E
boys they shook my hand
E                                 
They said, “we’ll call you up when
            B7
 we need a ride”
       E                       A  
They went down to the ground, and 
             E
I floated around
    A                         B   
With all them stars still 
          E      E7
twinkling in my eyes

[Chorus]
A                        E
One small step for man, Jesus, 
Goddamn
E                       B7
22 hours hanging in the air
    E                       
Sometimes you take the fame, 
     A                 E
sometimes you sit backstage
          A                   B   
But if it weren’t for me them boys
                 E
 would still be there

[Verse]
E                           A    
Now the history books will write 
                    E
about that fateful night
E                               B7
Them two fellas dancing on the moon
         E                         
But they won’t say nothing bout me,
  A             E
 waiting patiently
    A                  B          
To bring them boys safely back 
      E      E7
home to you

[Chorus]
A                        E
One small step for man, Jesus, 
Goddamn
E                       B7
22 hours hanging in the air
    E                       
Sometimes you take the fame, 
     A                 E
sometimes you sit backstage
          A                   B   
But if it weren’t for me them boys
                 E
 would still be there
