Chords for Buddy Mondlock - The Kid

[Bb] Last time I was here I met somebody who works down at NASA. _ _

[Gb] _ [Bb] From about six miles away.
It was just mind boggling.
The [F] sun came up at four in the morning.
It was amazing.
_ [Fm] _ That's what it was.
[Bb] And then yesterday we saw an Atlas rocket [G] go up too.
And I had to go [Cm] into the [Gm] daytime launch.
I got to [Bb] see it even closer for that one.
I had to feel it in the soles of my feet [C] pretty much.
So _ [D] it's been an [G] amazing week.

[C] _ _ _ [Cm] This is dedicated to all of _ them.
[D] It's called The Kid.

[Am] sometimes_.

[G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ Late at [G] night [F] in the empty big [Am] tavern, _ [D] all [F] alone on the high wire.
[Am] _ _
Look he's _ [D] working with powder net this time, [G] _ he's a real [F] death _
_ [Em] defyer.
[C] If _ _ [G] _
_ _ you're a kid, _ _ [Am] always _ _ _ [F] look out the window, _
_ [C] _ _ _ failing [G] _
tests, _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
geography.
[G] _ _ [C] But _ _ _ _ I've [G] seen _ things _
[Am] far _ beyond just [F] the schoolyard, _ [C] _ _ _ distant _ [G] _ shores [F] of Exeter.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _

[Am] _ _ I use this _ [F]
habit of dreaming, [C] _ _ _ _ _
sometimes [G] _ _ _ it's [F] _
