A E5/G# F#m
If I built a rocket in the garden
D A E
A budget way of public travelling
A E5/G# F#m E
Maybe there’s a vacancy at NASA with a salary
D E A
For singers losing confidence to sing
A E5/G# F#m
And I scavenged for fuel for ideal velocity
D A E
and 50 miles up I earned my wings
A E5/G# F#m E
I built a helmet from an unused fishbowl
D E9 A
And a duvet for my parachute landing
A E5/G# F#m
I promise that I won’t be gone for too long
D A E
I just wanna feel the loss of gravity
A E5/G# F#m
Is there any way to feel this weightless
E D
Without a ticket to Israel
E A
And go and swim in the Dead Sea
A E5/G# F#m
So I built a rocket in the garden
D A E
And I scheduled the launch for Sunday eve
A E5/G# F#m
Experience one beautiful orbit
E D
With the optimism that
E A
I’d still make it home for tea
A E5/G# F#m
If all goes well I’ll be the first of many
D A E
Pioneers of DIY astronomy
A E5/G# F#m
Adventurers of the great beyond
E D
I can hear the slogan in the song
E A
The sky’s no limit for me
Solo A E5/G# F#m
D A E
A E5/G# F#m
E D E A
A E5/G# F#m
I think I need to build a bigger rocket
D A E
One with a second seat right next to me
A E5/G# F#m E
You can be my lovely navigator
D E A9
And I can offer you the world for free
