[Intro]

N.C.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one


[Verse 1]

D
I'm gonna take a trip on a rocketship
                                   A
I'm gonna blast outta here about noon
To get away from it all
                                                D
I'm gonna have a ball on the backside of the moon
I'm gonna build a shack
                                             G
I ain't a-comin' back to the place I came from
Well, it's just like this

            D                       A                D
I'll either hit or miss, and have a hard time on the sun


[Verse 2]

D
Either way it'll be, you can take it from me
                            A
I'm gonna have a real big time

I'm on a one way track, I ain't a-comin' back
                                        D
'Cause I'm a-goin' to the end of the line
Now here's a tip, why I'm takin' this trip
                    G
I wanna get satisfied
                            D
I wanna live it up, I wanna rock it up

        A                 D
And get out of this world alive


[Verse 3]

D
I'm gonna take a trip on a rocketship
                                   A
I'm gonna blast outta here about noon
To get away from it all
                                                D
I'm gonna have a ball on the backside of the moon
I'm gonna build a shack
                                             G
I ain't a-comin' back to the place I came from
Well, it's just like this

            D                       A                D
I'll either hit or miss, and have a hard time on the sun


[Verse 4]

D
Either way it'll be, you can take it from me
                            A
I'm gonna have a real big time

I'm on a one way track, I ain't a-comin' back
                                        D
'Cause I'm a-goin' to the end of the line
Now here's a tip, why I'm takin' this trip
                    G
I wanna get satisfied
                            D
I wanna live it up, I wanna rock it up
        A                 D
And get out of this world alive
