Blitzen Trapper - Astronaut

Now if you're ^Egonna play your games with^A me Like a ^Aleaf in the the ^A/Gtop of the ^Etree ^D You ^Abetter watch your step when you're ^Ecoming back ^Ddown From the ^Gcity on out to the ^Csea

And if your ^Ebrothers come after ^Ame With their ^Ahorses so ^A/Gwild and so ^Efree ^D I'll be ^Awaiting at the gate in a ^Eterrible ^Dstate With the ^Gman who holds the ^Ckey And he'll ^Gtreat you quite ^Ccarelessly

For he ^Aknows my face from a ^Eprevious ^Dplace From a ^Gcountry in a foreign ^Cland Throwing ^Gdice in a game of ^Cchance on the ^G/Bsand But I ^Alost my cool, and ^Efate loves a ^Dfool Now I'm ^Gstanding on the edge of the ^Cpast In my ^Gspacesuit ^D/F#hoping that this ^Emwoman will ^Dcall me at ^Alast ^C

'Cause I'm an ^Eastro^Dnaut on the ^Ashores of this ^Ggrand ^Cillusion ^A7 And I'm ^Efalling ^Ddown at the ^Asound of this ^Gbeating ^Cheart Ye^A7ah, this beating ^Cheart A7 D B7,Em,D/F#, G,A Yeah, this beating heart

Your ^Efriends all tell you that you ^Dgotta make a ^Achange Gotta ^Amake this break in so ^Gmany kind of ^Eways The ^Esky to the trees, from the ^Dtrees to the ^Aearth' From the ^Aearth to your grave, from the ^Ggrave to your ^Ebirth

^EYour heart's been heavy with the ^Dsilver and the ^Agold But the ^Agold ain't yours 'cause his ^Gheart's been ^Esold For to ^Cpay your lover's ^Dway And the ^Gship it ^G/F#sails ^A7today E

^EOh my, my now we're ^Drollin' by and ^Aby Got my ^Achildren to ^Glight the ^Eway ^EOh my, my now we're ^Drollin' by and ^Aby Got my ^Abrothers to ^Glight the ^Eway ^EOh my, my now we're ^Drollin' by and ^Aby Got my ^Asisters to ^Glight the ^Eway You gotta ^Cpay your lover's ^Dway And the ^Gship it ^G/F#sails ^A7today

So if you're ^Egonna play your games with ^Ame Better ^Ause some real ^A/Gtricker^Ey You ^Abetter get smart 'cause that ^Elock on your ^Dheart It ain't as ^Gheavy as it used to ^Cbe In a ^Gland without no ^Cgravity In this ^Awindless place, on the ^Eedge of ^Dspace Where the ^Gsaints and the sinners have ^Cpassed With the ^Gdead satellites and the ^Ctrash In my ^Gspacesuit ^D/F#hoping that this ^Emwoman will ^D/F#call me at ^Alast

'Cause I'm an ^Eastro^Dnaut on the ^Ashores of this ^Ggrand ^Cillusion ^A7 And I'm ^Efalling ^Ddown at the ^Asound of this ^Gbeating ^Cheart Ye^A7ah, this beating ^Cheart A7 D B7,Em,D/F#, G,A Yeah, this beating heart
