Lovely Navigator

	  		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
