Last Spaceship

D G D
There are friends I see too seldom, there's so much I want to do
C D
See the sights and make strange music there, and better yet, with you
D Bm G
So I'll meet you in two weeks, in that exotic foreign clime
D Bm Am D G D
If the last spaceship leaves on time.
D G
If the ship's engines blaze without holds or delays--
C G D
Why that boat could amaze in its prime!--
D C G
Fortune smiles on strays and audacity pays
D Bm Am D G D
If the last spaceship leaves on time!
In the rocket's mighty roar I hear the future's siren call,
From its earliest beginnings I have learned about it all
It's my last big chance to see it, giving up would be a crime--
If the last spaceship leaves on time.
So I'm hazarding adventure, though its nature does depend,
On the luck that follows travelers, not always as a friend,
But I'll dare the deal of fortune, even put it all in rhyme--
If the last spaceship leaves on time.
