Rockets Tail

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

You said,

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

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

                                            Eb
And it's holding the night in its arms

     Fsus4     Csus4
If only for a moment.

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

             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                                  Eb
Home to the quickening ground,

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

    Fsus2              Csus4
Nobody seems to see me.

F                                    Eb
Then, with the fuse in my hand,

       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                          F
Was it me said you were crazy?

I put on my cloudiest suit,

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

           Bb       F         Gm      Cm7     Bb
'Cause I am a rocket

F         Gm       Cm7
On fire.

Bb         F               Gm      Cm7      Bb
With my tail on fire,

F              Gm      Cm7     Bb
Tail on fire,

F          Gm
On fire.

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