F#m E D
When I was young all I wanted was the moon
F#m E D
Hung that National Geographic map in my room
A E F#m
In seventh grade, Mythology 101
C#m D
They called me Little Endymion
D
You remember me now
F#m E D
Space was the object of all my country's desire
F#m E D
And the skies of my childhood were laced with launching pad fire
A E F#m
And I was the boy who stood under a streetlamp at night
C#m D
Waiting for those strange blue lights
D
To come take me away
E D
Shoot the moon
A
Set me down in the Sea of Tranquillity
E
Just the stars and me
D
Shoot the moon
A
Give me a home in the 21st century
A/G# F#m
A little less gravity
E D
I could fall free
F#m E D F#m E D
Shoot the moon
F#m E D
If I'd been ten years older, I might have been tripping on Yasgur's
farm
F#m E D
But I probably would have been a Phantom flying over Viet Nam
A E F#m
In a dream of altitudes where blue turns black
C#m D
And never looking back
At the pieces on the ground
C#m F#m
But I saw the choppers rise out of Saigon's fall
C#m F#m
And my fingers traced the writing on the long black wall
C#m G
And I knew there'd be no spaceships in my future
F#m E B F#m E
I guess I was born a little late, or way too soon.
E D
Shoot the moon
A
Set me down in the Sea of Tranquillity
E
Just the stars and me
D
Shoot the moon
A
Give me a home in the 21st century
A/G# F#m
A little less gravity
E D
We could fall free
F#m E D F#m E D
Shoot the moon
F#m E D
Well, a quarter of a million miles isn't really that far
F#m E D
It took me two Chevys, but I've done it in a car
A E F#m
Driving from town to town with this old guitar
C#m D
Built in 1969
One small step for mankind
E D
Shoot the moon
A
Set me down in the Sea of Tranquillity
E
Just the stars and me
D
Shoot the moon
A
Give me a home in the 21st century
A/G# F#m
A little less gravity
C#m D F#m E D F#m E D F#m E D B
It is my destiny
