Rocket To Stardom
by Kris Kristofferson
from the LP.. Who's To Bless & Who's To Blame


G                                        C
It started when the neighbours saw my fancy new T.V.
       D                           G 
That opens up the gate outside my home
                             C
Lets me let in anyone I really want to see
 A7                              D  
Keep out all them other dudes I don't
                                    C
And one by one they started commin over to the door
        D                          G
And someone played temptation on Kazoo
                           C
Nelly God is naked as the day she was born
    D                      G
It sure was all over baby blue


                                                  C
Cho..	I've got an electric eye, two big dogs & a mine field
           D                                    G
	And miles & miles & miles of barbed wire fence
                                          C 
	The biggest show in town is in my driveway
            D                                   G
	And we ain't had a good night's sleepin' since



Orval Baker's shown us the fastest draw in town
Kora Lay is clackin on her spoons
Old Jessie's big dog sure does look dead lyin on the ground
Jessie's wife is a howlin at the moon
Charlie's ugly daughter still can't tapdance
Old Maybelle Thatcher's walkin on her hands
Just as I was leavin' for the kitchen for a snack
Old Lula Belle Amazed us with her fan

Cho..

Prony's got an act that's hard to follow
Old Norman plays a nimble tamborine
You should see what Sarah Lee can swallow
Tho Billy does a wicked Mr. Clean
Good Lord if I'd have know this future when I started
Believe you me I'd never change a thing
I've got a closed circuit circus in my bedroom
And a world full of wacos in the wing (Get em Bert)

Cho..

Hey Kris, Hey Kris, hey Kris you gotta meet my cousin
He does impressions, look he's here, look he's here
Don't he look like Peter Lori, Do Kirk Douglas, Do Kirk Douglas
Judy, Judy, Judy
