MR. SPACEMAN WORDS & MUSIC:   Earl P. Reinhalter INTRO: Bmsus4 - G6 - A9sus4 - Bmsus4 (repeat during lead) Bm I. he lives next door. G and every morn, A Bm you can hear him build his launch pad in the yard. Bm the gantry tower, G the rocket power -- A Bm he wants it all so he can go to Mars. Em as he walks out, G dogs bark at his space suit. A his wife shouts: Em F#7 "the landlord's here again! Bm G Mr. Spaceman, where's the money? A Bm Mr. Spaceman, where's the rent? Bm G Mr. Spaceman, we are losing, A Bm Mr. Spaceman, our tenement." INSTRUMENTAL: Bm - G - A - Bm Bm II. he has a box G of old moon rocks. A Bm he needs a piece of Mars to feel complete. Bm he's well read. G feeds his head. A Bm never mind the vegetables and meat. Em like solar wind, G the sound of his wife's voice A will never end: Em F#7 "the cupboard's bare again! Bm G Mr. Spaceman, where's the money? A Bm Mr. Spaceman, where's the food? Bm G Mr. Spaceman, we are hungry, A Bm Mr. Spaceman, we're destitute." INSTRUMENTAL: Bm - G - A - Bm (etc.) Bm III. he kicks the tires G and checks the wires. A Bm his Martian rover takes him all about. Bm on shopping trips, G the Hohmann ellipse A Bm always seems to be the shortest route. Em overhead, G the capsule at the top Em is nearly done. G it's made of old lunch boxes Em he has found, G A lined with cafeteria trays. Em F#7 (stop) "the doctor's here again! Bm G Mr. Spaceman, where's the money? A Bm Mr. Spaceman, pay the fees. Bm G Mr. Spaceman, we are succumbing. A Bm Mr. Spaceman, we are diseased." Bm G A Bm (etc.) ENDING: Mr. Spaceman... (repeat and ad lib vocal / lead guitar) © Copyright 1988 Earl P.
