Rockets Tail

Gm                  Cm7   Eb    
That November night, looking up 
                   F
into the sky,

You said,

Gm                              Cm
"Hey, wish that was me up there--

           Eb                  
It's the biggest rocket I could 
           F
find,

And it's holding the night in its 
          Eb
arms

     Fsus4     Csus4
If only for a moment.

   F                               
I can't see the look in its eyes,
  Eb


             Cm                 F
But I'm sure it must be laughing."

Gm                    Cm
But it seemed to me

Eb                       F
The saddest thing I'd ever seen,

Gm                              Cm2
And I thought you were crazy,

Ebmaj7  Fsus2
Wishing such a thing.

         F                     Eb
I saw only a stick on fire,

    Fsus2      Csus4
Alone on its journey

F                                  
Home to the quickening ground,
Eb


        Csus4              F
With no one there to catch it.

Gm                            Cm
I put on my pointed hat

       Eb                 F
And my black and silver suit,

Gm                        Cm
And I check my gunpowder pack

       Eb                    Csus4
And I strap the stick on my back.

         F                         
And, dressed as a rocket on 
      Eb
Waterloo Bridge--

    Fsus2              Csus4
Nobody seems to see me.

F                                 
Then, with the fuse in my hand,
   Eb


       Cm               F
And now shooting into the night!

       Eb       F     Cm

      F
And still as a rocket,

   Cm
I land in the river.

Eb      Gm                       
Was it me said you were crazy?

   Cm7         Bb         F      
I put on my cloudiest suit,
   Gm     Cm     Bb     F     Gm


Cm7                 Bb     F     
Size 5 lightning boots, too.
 Gm     Cm7


           Bb       F         Gm 
'Cause I am a rocket
     Cm7     Bb


F         Gm       Cm7
On fire.

Bb         F               Gm    
With my tail on fire,
  Cm7      Bb


F              Gm      Cm7     Bb
Tail on fire,

F          Gm
On fire.

Cm7                         Bb   
Look at me go, look at look at me
      F       Eb      Cm
