GC
Well I wonder why it is
EmD
that we have rascals rogues and losers
GCEmD
We've got roustabouts rapscallions and a bucket load of boozers
CGD
We've got balladeers and blowhards of all sorts
C
We've got poets priests and pirates
DG
but we have no astronauts
GDG
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (x3) oh, oh, oh, oh,
GD
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (just listen to the song, it makes sense, trust me)
G
They say there was a space race
DG
if there was I think I missed it
G
From the earth up to the moon and back,
DG
doesn't that take the biscuit
D
Well I wouldn't mind a little ride in zero gravity
CD
as long as they could promise I'd be home in time for tea
[[chorus]]
CD
I've got me two good legs if I wanna take a trip,
CD
I've got no use for a rocket ship
C
I'll walk if you don't mind
D
It's how I always get around
EmD
I might be staring at the stars
CG
but I keep both feet on the ground
GD
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
G
both feet on the ground
GD
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
G
I've got both feet on the ground
GDGGD
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
G
There's a great big giant vacuum
DG
up there in the sky
G
Ah but where's the place to plug it in
DG
I think it's all a lie
D
I've heard of Halley's Comet, And I'll tell you what I think
CD
It's just a kind of chemical for cleaning out the sink
[[chorus]]
G
We've got no use for Sputnik
DG
We've got sponge to go around
G
And you'll never see the shuttle land
DG
on the streets of Newlyn Town
D
Well in the fields of "Vatimbly" there's not a launching pad in sight
CD
We've got no "Mersa voyageurs" and we turned out all right
