Astronaut Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Gm D♯ twice

Gm I know what you're all wondeD♯ring

Have Tripod ever been to GmJapan Gm

But you're ignoring a much bigger D♯question

Why don't the Japanese have a space A♯program

Why aren't there any Japanese D♯astronauts

A♯ Have you ever seen a Japanese F♯astronau__G♯______t

I'll tell you Cwhy you haven't seen one

D♯ I'll tell you why

You A♯can't do the Japanese FTea Ceremony D♯when you're an astroGmnaut

It's those damn Ffat gloves

And you A♯can't do the Japanese FTea Ceremony D♯when you're in zero Gmgrav

Cos the tea goes Feverywhere

The tea goes everyGmwhere

Gm Japanese culture's always fansciD♯nated me

From their traditions to their modern way of Gmlife

But all their elegance and rich hisD♯tory

Doesn't sit well with my interest in A♯space

Because you A♯can't carry out a ninja style assassiFnation D♯dressed as an astroGmnaut

It's the luminous Ffabric (you're too visible)

And they A♯don't let you use a Fsamurai sword D♯when you're an astroGmnaut

You might punctuFre the suit

You might deGmpressurize

F Like a gremlin in a Gmmicrowa__F♯___ve

G♯ But it's those damn C♯fat gloves

They're the main Fproblem

You F♯can't nurture your tamaC♯gotchi

You can't Fmake an origami F♯swan

Have you G♯ever tried to get a used Apanty vending macA♯mhine into a space D♯shuttle

Well D♯I've tried and they don't C♯let you

Fucking NASA red F♯tape

Interlude

Gm D♯ Gm D♯ A♯ D♯ A♯ D♯

Gm I couldn't reconcile the two things that I D♯loved

So I threw away my dreams of outeGmr space

I had to find myself a whole newD♯ job

Maybe in the sports arena I would find a A♯place

But you A♯can't do a Japanese FTea Ceremony D♯when you're a boxing Gmchamp

It's those damned Ffat gloves again

Those A♯confounded puffy mitts loom in Ffront of my face D♯every night in Gmbed

I'm haunted by Ffat gloves

You A♯can't drink sake, you can't do bukkake

Or Fride a Kawasaki

D♯When you're an astroF♯naut

And they F♯don't let you be an astronaut on Japanese G♯tele

Cos you're not enough of a red hA♯erring
