GWhen I was an aAstronaut I dDidn't have my bE7oots,

I tGravel light and tAhat's the life for mDe.
[chorus]
G He dAoesn't care Dwhere elE7se he goes,
G He's not Agonna take aDny extra cE7lothes
G or extAra shoes Dto hidE7e his feet
G The grAound is dirtD, the dE7irt is sweet
[verse]
GWhen I go LondoAntown I'll sDtand under a roE7ck,
GUntil I know alAl the time iDt takes to packE7 a clock,
GThen I'll flip Ait over, cloDse the key, andE7 swallow the lock.
GI travel light Aand that's tDhe life for me.
[chorus]

[Bridge]
GFur's and silveAr chairs and shiny tDhings are justE7 a fuss

GWe'll travel liAght and that's the lDife for us
[Outro]
GWe'll travel liAght and thatD's the life for us E7
GWe'll travel liAght and that's the life for usD
