Put a penny in the pot
D            Bm
Put a nickel in your pocket
D            A
Every nickel that you've got
C#m         G
Is a nickel in the slot
D               A
You just had to spend it all
D           Bm
Every hour, every minute
D          A
You had to make it all
C#m        G
Wonderful, beautiful

You lit the sky

You were a firefly

I remember you in sparks
D                 Bm
Keep your picture in my locket
D             A
It's an image in my heart
C#m        G
I can wear anywhere
D             A
I could never give it up
D             Bm
I could never do without it
D              A
I just want to live it up
C#m           G
Like you did, that you did

[Chorus]
D   A     E
You lived to burn
D   A      G      E
You were a glowworm
D   A   E
You lit the sky
D   A      G         E
You were a firefly

[Spoken Outro]
You are listening to the first stereo broadcast
As it was relayed from outer space
And received and recorded back on Earth
