Astronaut Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Gm D♯ twice

Gm I know what you're all wondeD♯ring

 Have Tripod ever been to GmJapan Gm

 But you're ignoring a much bigger D♯question

 Why don't the Japanese have a space A♯program

 Why aren't there any Japanese D♯astronauts

A♯ Have you ever seen a Japanese F♯astronau__G♯______t

 I'll tell you Cwhy you haven't seen one

D♯ I'll tell you why

 You A♯can't do the Japanese FTea Ceremony D♯when you're an astroGmnaut

 It's those damn Ffat gloves

 And you A♯can't do the Japanese FTea Ceremony D♯when you're in zero Gmgrav

 Cos the tea goes Feverywhere

 The tea goes everyGmwhere

Gm Japanese culture's always fansciD♯nated me

 From their traditions to their modern way of Gmlife

 But all their elegance and rich hisD♯tory

 Doesn't sit well with my interest in A♯space

 Because you A♯can't carry out a ninja style assassiFnation D♯dressed as an astroGmnaut

 It's the luminous Ffabric (you're too visible)

 And they A♯don't let you use a Fsamurai sword D♯when you're an astroGmnaut

 You might punctuFre the suit

 You might deGmpressurize

F Like a gremlin in a Gmmicrowa__F♯___ve

G♯ But it's those damn C♯fat gloves

 They're the main Fproblem

 You F♯can't nurture your tamaC♯gotchi

 You can't Fmake an origami F♯swan

 Have you G♯ever tried to get a used Apanty vending macA♯mhine into a space D♯shuttle

 Well D♯I've tried and they don't C♯let you

 Fucking NASA red F♯tape

Interlude

Gm D♯ Gm D♯ A♯ D♯ A♯ D♯

Gm I couldn't reconcile the two things that I D♯loved

 So I threw away my dreams of outeGmr space

 I had to find myself a whole newD♯ job

 Maybe in the sports arena I would find a A♯place

 But you A♯can't do a Japanese FTea Ceremony D♯when you're a boxing Gmchamp

 It's those damned Ffat gloves again

 Those A♯confounded puffy mitts loom in Ffront of my face D♯every night in Gmbed

 I'm haunted by Ffat gloves

 You A♯can't drink sake, you can't do bukkake

 Or Fride a Kawasaki

D♯When you're an astroF♯naut

 And they F♯don't let you be an astronaut on Japanese G♯tele

 Cos you're not enough of a red hA♯erring
