(Verse 1)
A augmentedA          A/F#
Not regular party size;
A/EA/E
Waves crash on either side.
A augmentedA          A/F#
He's wearing polypropylene,
A/EA/E                  A augmentedA
Clutching at straws, holding onto string.
A augmentedA          A/F#
What was he looking for -
A/EA/E
Truth, or was it Heaven?
A augmentedA          A/F#
Or did he just want to go out with a bang,
A/EA/E
So to speak?
A augmentedA          A/F#
He's put his helmet on,
A/EA/E
Steps out, floats on into the sky,
A augmentedA
Goodbye!
A/EA/E
It's funny, but I can understand why:

(Chorus)
A augmentedA           A/F#
I want to live where the traffic controllers
A/EA/E        A augmentedA
Are ballet dancers,
  A/F#        A/EA/E        A augmentedA
And billboards painted over with colours;
  A/F#
Where unkindness is fined
A/EA/E        A augmentedA
In numbers of roses,
A/F#            A/EA/E
And nobody feels like taking the commons,

* from here on play the same chords, the song is only these 3 chords listed above*

(Verse 2)
A augmentedA                A/F#
While some were meant for sea, in tug-boats
A/EA/E
'Round the shore's knee,
A augmentedA
Milling with the sand,
A/F#       A/EA/E
and always coming back to land ,
A augmentedA
For others, up above
A/F#       A/EA/E
Is all they care to think of,
A augmentedA               A/F#
Up there with the birds and clouds, and
A/EA/E
Words don't follow.

D MajorD       E MajorE     A augmentedA     A/F#
There are times when I sit down to tea,
D MajorD       E MajorE     A augmentedA     A/F#
Some well-meaning companion will ask me,
D MajorD       E MajorE     A augmentedA
How's it going with everything?
D MajorD
Quite nicely, but:

(Chorus)
A augmentedA           A/F#
I want to live where the traffic controllers
A/EA/E        A augmentedA
Are ballet dancers,
  A/F#        A/EA/E        A augmentedA
And billboards painted over with colours;
  A/F#
Where unkindness is fined
A/EA/E        A augmentedA
In numbers of roses,
A/F#            A/EA/E
And nobody feels like taking the commons,

(Verse 3)
A augmentedA            A/F#
'Though time has soldiered on,
A/EA/E
I still think upon him;
A augmentedA           A/F#    A/EA/E
Waging with the sky, he's crying Goodbye!
A augmentedA
What was he looking for -
A/F#        A/EA/E
Truth, or was it Heaven?
A augmentedA               A/F#
Or did he just want to go out with a bang,
A/EA/E
