Verse 1:
    G 
I tried my best to be just like 
    D                C 
The other boys in school 
    G 
I tried my best to get it right 
     D             C 
And died at every duel 

      G 
This mountainside is suicide 
       D               C 
This dream will never work 
           G 
Still the sign upon my headstone, write 
     D              C 
"A champion of the world" 

( G  D  C ) 

Verse 2:
         G 
Yeah I tried my best to stay alight 
     D          C 
Fly like a firework 
    G 
I tried my best at taking flight 
        D            C 
But my rocketship reversed 
     G 
Oh, referee, don't stop the fight 
     D                C 
Everyone can see I'm hurt 
           G 
But I'll stand before conquistadors 
          D              C 
Til I'm champion of the world 


         C                 
(When I sail) And when I sail 
             G 
I'm sailing west 
                 C 
(Though I might fail) Knowing I might fail 
                 G              D 
But, still I am hoping for the best 
         C 
(In my dreams) And in my dreams 
          Em 
Onto my chest 
                       C 
She'll pin the colours and say 
                 
"I wandered the whole wide world but 
       D          G 
Baby, you're the best"

Fin

         G 
So I'm flying on my bicycle 
        D                C 
Heading upwards from the Earth 
      G 
I am jumping with no parachute 
    D            C 
Out into the universe 
       G 
I have E.T. on my bicycle 
         D               C 
Because giving up won't work 
      G 
I am riding on my rocketship 
          D              C 
And I'm champion of the world 

( G  D  C )
