Tabs
Note: I know there are only G-chords, that's no mistake. The song is based on this
chord, which is also the reason a 
D MajorD (5th on 
G+G) is played througout the entire
song: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NItwaz0nLJA, notice the tape on the
keyboard). This is also the reason I've written the chords out with only three
strings at a time, to make it sound 'dry'. Hope you like it that way.

Chorus Lyrics: (every line is for one line from the tabs)
1 Do they know those days are golden?
2 Build a rocket boys! Build a rocket boys!
3 One long June I came down from the trees
4 And cursed on cue. You were freshly painted angel
5 walking on walls. Stealing booze and outlawing hungry
6 kisses. Nobody knew me at home anymore
7 Build a rocket boys!
8 Build a rocket boys!
