Em         D   Bm        Em
  My daddy was an astronaut

Em            D    Bm      Em
That's what I was often taught

Em       D    Bm       C
My daddy went away too soon

Em       D      Bm     Em
Now he's living on the moon.

Em            D
Hang on to me people

Bm          Em
We're going down

Em             D            Bm         C
Down among the fishes in an absence of sound

              Em     D                 Bm          C
It's the presence of distance and it's floating in time

     Em            D                Bm       Em
It's lack and it's longing and it's not very kind

Em           D             Bm          Em 
Sitting here scratching in this rented room

Em               D              Bm         C
Scratching and a-tapping to the man in the moon

Em            D          Bm        C
That all the things that I've been told

Em       D      Bm    Em
My daddy was an astronaut.
