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.
