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

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

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

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

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

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