Note: I know there are only G-chords, that's no mistake. The song is based on this chord, which is also the reason a D (5th on G) is played througout the entire song: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NItwaz0nLJA, notice the tape on the keyboard). This is also the reason I've written the chords out with only three strings at a time, to make it sound 'dry'. Hope you like it that way.

Build a rocket boys! 3 One long June I came down from the trees 4 And cursed on cue. You were freshly painted angel 5 walking on walls. Stealing booze and outlawing hungry 6 kisses. Nobody knew me at home anymore 7 Build a rocket boys! 8 Build a rocket boys! Couplet:
