[Intro]
D  G  G/B  Am  Dm  D

[Verse]
G         G/B
All of the astronauts
             Am
Champagne in plastic cups
        Bb          D       G
Waiting for the big hero to show
G           G/B
Outside the door he stands
         Am
His head in his hands
        Bb           D
and his heart in his throat

[Chorus]
C          G
What can he tell them now?
Bb      A
Sorry I let you down
Continues after the ad
Bb       D            G
Sorry it wasn't quite true
    C         G
But don't get hung up on it
Bb           A
Just soldier on with it
   C              D            G
And good luck with shooting the moon
G7            C
Shooting the moon
              A
Shooting the moon
              C D G
Shooting the moon

[Verse]
G          G/B                  
All of the principals, Generals 
Am
admirals
        Bb         D      
and the podium lit with the 
  G
spotlight
G                G/B             
The crowd buzzes quietly waiting 
Am
expectantly
          Bb      D
like it's opening night

[Chorus]
C          G
What can he tell them now?
Bb      A
Sorry I let you down
Bb       D            G
Sorry it wasn't quite true
    C         G
But don't get hung up on it
Bb           A
Just soldier on with it
   C              D            G
And good luck with shooting the moon
G7            C
Shooting the moon
              A
Shooting the moon
              C D G
Shooting the moon
