Tabbed by Craig and Terry Barnes.
Copyright 1997 Word Records.
Eb Bb
He sinks into his telescope
Ab
And plots his course.
Eb Bb
The other room, his mother cries,
Ab
His father snores.
Eb Bb Ab
And everybody laughs at him
Eb Bb Ab
Everybody thinks he’s strange.
Eb Bb
In his head are second thoughts
Ab
of spinning rage,
Eb Bb
He carries books with formulas
Ab
dog ear paged.
Eb Bb Ab
And everybody laughs at him
Eb Bb Ab
Everybody thinks he’s strange.
Pre chorus:
C
And hey, wouldn’t it be great
Eb
If he really got up.
C
And hey, wouldn’t it be great
Eb Bb
If he really flew…. Flew .


Chorus:
Eb Bb Ab F, G
Pete’s a rocket scientist,
Eb Bb Ab F, G
Pete says that he’s goin to the moon.
Eb Bb Ab F, G
Pete’s a rocket scientist,
Eb Bb Ab F, G
And he won’t be comin home real soon.
C
There’s water in his eyes,
G
Not behind his ears.
C
After all this time,
Ab Bb
He’s got to face his fears, His fears.
(Play chorus chords.)
Eb Bb
The countdown starts, he shuts the hatch,
Ab
And lights the fuse.
Eb Bb
Four-hundred and twenty feet,
Ab
And then it blew.
Eb Bb Ab
And everybody laughs at him
Eb Bb Ab
Everybody thinks he’s strange.
Pre chorus.

Eb Bb Ab
And he won’t be comin home real soon…xlots.
