Em D Bm Em My daddy was an astronaut Em D Bm Em That's what I was often taught Em D Bm C My daddy went away too soon Em D Bm Em Now he's living on the moon. Em D Hang on to me people Bm Em We're going down Em D Bm C Down among the fishes in an absence of sound Em D Bm C It's the presence of distance and it's floating in time Em D Bm Em It's lack and it's longing and it's not very kind Em D Bm Em Sydney scratching in this rented room Em D Bm C Scratching and a-tapping to the man in the moon Em D Bm C That all the things that I've been told Em D Bm Em My daddy was an astronaut.
