Rocket's Tail
By Kate Bush
From 1989's "The Sensual World"
Gm Cm7 Eb F
That November night, looking up into the sky,
You said,
Gm Cm
"Hey, wish that was me up there--
Eb F
It's the biggest rocket I could find,
Eb
And it's holding the night in its arms
Fsus4 Csus4
If only for a moment.
F Eb
I can't see the look in its eyes,
Cm F
But I'm sure it must be laughing."
Gm Cm
But it seemed to me
Eb F
The saddest thing I'd ever seen,
Gm Cm2
And I thought you were crazy,
Ebmaj7 Fsus2
Wishing such a thing.
F Eb
I saw only a stick on fire,
Fsus2 Csus4
Alone on its journey
F Eb
Home to the quickening ground,
Csus4 F
With no one there to catch it.
Gm Cm
I put on my pointed hat
Eb F
And my black and silver suit,
Gm Cm
And I check my gunpowder pack
Eb Csus4
And I strap the stick on my back.
F Eb
And, dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge--
Fsus2 Csus4
Nobody seems to see me.
F Eb
Then, with the fuse in my hand,
Cm F
And now shooting into the night!
3X: Cm Bb F
Eb F Cm
F
And still as a rocket,
Cm
I land in the river.
Eb Gm F
Was it me said you were crazy?
2X: Cm Bb F Gm
Cm7 Bb F Gm Cm Bb F Gm
I put on my cloudiest suit,
Cm7 Bb F Gm Cm7
Size 5 lightning boots, too.
Bb F Gm Cm7 Bb
'Cause I am a rocket
F Gm Cm7
On fire.
Bb F Gm Cm7 Bb
With my tail on fire,
F Gm Cm7 Bb
Tail on fire,
F Gm
On fire.
Cm7 Bb F Eb Cm
Look at me go, look at look at me
