[F#m]When I was young [E]all I wanted was the [D]moon
[F#m]Hung that National [E]Geographic map in my r[D]oom
In [A]seventh grade, [E]Mythology [F#m]101
[C#m]They called me Little Endy[D]mion
[D]You remember me now
[F#m]Space was the object [E]of all my country's [D]desire
[F#m]And the skies of my childhood [E]were laced with launching[D] pad fire
And [A]I was the boy who [E]stood under a streetlamp at [F#m]night
[C#m]Waiting for those strange blue [D]lights
[D]To come take me away
[E]Shoot the [D]moon
Set me down in the Sea of Tranq[A]uillity
Just the stars and [E]me
Shoot the [D]moon
Give me a home in the 21st cen[A]tury
A little [A/G#]less [F#m]gravity
[E]I could fall [D]free
Shoot the [F#m]moon [E][D][F#m][E][D]
[F#m]If I'd been ten years older, [E]I might have been tripping on [D]Yasgur's
farm
[F#m]But I probably would have been a [E]Phantom flying over [D]Viet Nam
In a [A]dream of altitu[E]des where blue turns [F#m]black
[C#m]And never looking [D]back

At the pieces on the ground
[C#m]But I saw the choppers rise out of [F#m]Saigon's fall
[C#m]And my fingers traced the writing on the l[F#m]ong black wall
[C#m]And I knew there'd be no spaceships in my fut[G]ure
I guess I was [F#m]born a little late, or [E]way too so[B]on. [F#m][E]
[E]Shoot the [D]moon
Set me down in the Sea of Tranq[A]uillity
Just the stars and m[E]e
Shoot the [D]moon
Give me a home in the 21st cen[A]tury
A little [A/G#]less [F#m]gravity
[E]We could fall [D]free
Shoot the [F#m]moon [E][D][F#m][E][D]
[F#m]Well, a quarter of a million [E]miles isn't really that f[D]ar
[F#m]It took me two Chevys, [E]but I've done it in a [D]car
Driving [A]from town to [E]town with this old g[F#m]uitar
[C#m]Built in 1[D]969

One small step for mankind
[E]Shoot the m[D]oon
Set me down in the Sea of Tranq[A]uillity
Just the stars and [E]me
Shoot the [D]moon
Give me a home in the 21st cen[A]tury
A little [A/G#]less grav[F#m]ity
[C#m]It is my desti[D]ny [F#m][E][D][F#m][E][D][F#m][E][D][B]
