Chord/Tab song: Rocket's Tail

Rocket's Tail
By Kate Bush
From 1989's "The Sensual World"

[Gm]That November night,[Cm7] looki[Eb]ng up into the sky, [F]

You said,

[Gm]"Hey, wish that was me up there-[Cm]-

It's the bi[Eb]ggest rocket I could find,[F]

And it's holding the night in its arms[Eb]

If on[Fsus4]ly for a m[Csus4]oment.

I c[F]an't see the look in its eyes,[Eb]

But I'm sure [Cm]it must be laughing[F]."

[Gm]But it seemed to me [Cm]

[Eb]The saddest thing I'd eve[F]r seen,

[Gm]And I thought you were crazy, [Cm2]

[Ebmaj7]Wishing [Fsus2]such a thing.

I saw onl[F]y a stick on fire,[Eb]

Alon[Fsus2]e on its jo[Csus4]urney

[F]Home to the quickening ground,[Eb]

With no [Csus4]one there to catch [F]it.

[Gm]I put on my pointed hat [Cm]

And my [Eb]black and silver su[F]it,

[Gm]And I check my gunpowder p[Cm]ack

And I s[Eb]trap the stick on my b[Csus4]ack.

And, dres[F]sed as a rocket on Waterloo Brid[Eb]ge--

Nobo[Fsus2]dy seems to see me.[Csus4]

[F]Then, with the fuse in my hand,[Eb]

And now[Cm] shooting into th[F]e night!


3X: Cm Bb F

[Eb] [F] [Cm]

And st[F]ill as a rocket,

I l[Cm]and in the river.

[Eb]Was it m[Gm]e said you were crazy? [F]

2X: Cm Bb F Gm

I p[Cm7]ut on my clo[Bb]udiest suit[F],[Gm][Cm][Bb][F][Gm]

[Cm7]Size 5 lightning boo[Bb]ts, too[F]. [Gm][Cm7]

'Cause I am[Bb] a rocket[F] [Gm][Cm7][Bb]

[F]On fire. [Gm][Cm7]

[Bb]With my tai[F]l on fire, [Gm][Cm7][Bb]

[F]Tail on fire, [Gm][Cm7][Bb]

[F]On fire. [Gm]

[Cm7]Look at me go, look at look [Bb]at me[F][Eb][Cm]
