Rockets Tail

Rocket’s Tail By Kate Bush From 1989’s "The Sensual World" That November night looking up into the sky       You said                                           "Hey wish that was me up there-- It’s the biggest rocket I could find      And it’s holding the night in its arms            Fsus4     Csus4      If only for a moment. I can’t see the look in its eyes     But I’m sure it must be laughing." But it seemed to me    The saddest thing I’d ever seen And I thought you were crazy    Ebmaj7  Fsus2        Wishing such a thing. I saw only a stick on fire         Fsus2      Csus4   Alone on its journey Home to the quickening ground              Csus4              F With no one there to catch it. I put on my pointed hat        And my black and silver suit And I check my gunpowder pack        Eb                    Csus4        And I strap the stick on my back. And dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge--     Fsus2              Csus4    Nobody seems to see me. Then with the fuse in my hand       And now shooting into the night! 3X:                                   And still as a rocket I land in the river. Was it me said you were crazy?       2X:            I put on my cloudiest suit                                     Size 5 lightning boots too.              ’Cause I am a rocket                           On fire.            With my tail on fire                        Tail on fire                   On fire.    Look at me go look at look at me
