Tuning: G C E A
Artist: Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger Song: Space Girl Album: New Briton Gazette, Vol. 1 (1960) By: Zabet Groznaya (zabet.groznaya@gmail.com) This version includes my transcript of lyrics, changes the key because I lean toward the melancholy, and is arranged for simple/beginner solo ukulele, per the recording found here: https://youtu.be/6d3H2ZIsGKQ Standard gCEA ukulele tuning [Verse 1]
My Dmmama told me I should never Gmventure into Dmspace, But I Fdid, I Adid, I Dmdid, She Dmsaid no Terran girl could Gmtrust the Martian Dmrace, But I Fdid, I Adid, I Dmdid. A Gmrocket pilot asked me on aDm voyage to go, And GmI was so romantic, I just Fcouldn't say Ano; That Dmhe was just a servo robot Gmhow was I to Dmknow? So I dFid, I dAid, I dDmid.
[Verse 2]
My Dmpapa warned me never trust a Gmspace engineerDm, But I Fdid, I Adid, I Dmdid. He Dmsaid freefall and superdrive would Gmsurely cost me Dmdear, And they Fdid, they Adid, they Dmdid. But I've Gmbeen as far in hyperspace as Dmanybody can, GmI've travelled through the time warp in the FPsychoA Plan. They Dmsay a gal must travel for to Gmfind her Dmsuperman And I Fdid, I Adid, I Dmdid.
[Verse 3]
They Dmwarned me not to go around Gmamong the Dmasteroids, But I Fdid, I Adid, I Dmdid. They Dmsaid I'd make those Class 3 Mutants Gmdreadfully Dmannoyed, And I Fdid, I Adid, I Dmdid. They Gmsaid that Saturn was too hot, DmVenus not much fun, And Gmbug-eyed monsters tended to be Fjust a trifle Adumb; They Dmsaid I'd need a blaster and a Gmneedle-freezer Dmgun, And I Fdid, I Adid, I Dmdid.
[Instrumental] Gm F A [Verse 4]
They Dmsaid to find a man out there and Gmtry to settle Dmdown, So I dFid, I dAid, I Dmdid. They Dmsaid my kids might grow up one-eyed, Gmgreen, or bald, or Dmround, And they Fdid, they Adid, they Dmdid. My Gmcosmic husband died of mumps a Dmhundred years ago, my Gmdaughter's in the Milky Way a-Ftracking down a Abeau, And DmI'm so old and doddering I've Gmnothing for to Dmshow, But I Fdid, I Adid, I Dmdid. Oh I dFid, I dAid, I dDmid.
