Chords with lyrics
D MajorD A major 6A6 B minorBm
From here in my cage I see them make plans,
G+G D MajorD
Hear them reassure investors, shake presidents' hands.
D MajorD A major 6A6 B minorBm
The men with machines put tubes into me,
G+G D MajorD
They measure my vital signs, my flight trajectory.
D MajorD A major 6A6 B minorBm
They taught me to sit, taught me to lie down.
G+G D MajorD
Told me that a thousand years of wondering would end now.
D MajorD A major 6A6 B minorBm
They fed me my last meal, was the same as my first.
G+G D MajorD
From here in my cage, I watch the men work.
D MajorD A major 6A6
D MajorD A major 6A6 B minorBm
And now it's a flurry of lab coats and hurry.
G+G D MajorD
They talk about budgets and taxpayers' money.
D MajorD A major 6A6 B minorBm
And I wag my tail and I be a good girl,
G+G D MajorD
They forgot to walk me this morning they were too busy changing the world.
D MajorD A major 6A6 B minorBm
And I'm out from my cage and I'm trying to be brave,
G+G D MajorD
But the men they are sweating and now they're injecting,
D MajorD A major 6A6
And as I awake
B minorBm
I'm shocked and amazed.
G+G
At the sheer, crushing empty.
G+G AsusAsus B minorBm A major 6A6 G+G G+G
And I look down on men's little earth, sitting there quietly, wondering what it's worth.
AsusAsus A augmentedA B minorBm AsusAsus G+G D MajorD
And I drift away, but that's okay, there's more room to play out here than back in my cage.
A5(xxx225) B minorBm
And I know I will die, but that is fine,
G+G D MajorD
Cause in some way I am helping mankind.
A5(xxx225) B minorBm
And I don't understand, cause I'm not as smart as them,
G+G D MajorD
But even a parachute would have shown that they cared.
D MajorD A major 6A6 B minorBm
And so I float on, space's only dog.
G+G D MajorD
Friend to the stars, pet of the sun.
A major 6A6 B minorBm
From my little ship I dream of my bone,
G+G G+G
A augmentedA walk in the park, something comfy to sleep on.
AsusAsus B minorBm
And they call me Laika but I'd just like to say
A augmentedA G+G G+G
That I was born Little Curly and I'll die with that name.
AsusAsus B minorBm
Yeah they call me Laika but I'd just like to say
A augmentedA G+G D(x00235)
I was born Little Curly and I'll die with that name.
