Am 
Bring out the black tin rocket. 
Dm 
Paint chipped across the top, 
                   Em 
where we launched it 
N.C. 
up and out 
          E 
and scraped the neighbor's Cadillac 
Am 
come out tonight we'll hold it. 
Dm 
Scrub off the daylight boredom. 
Em 
Take it all, slip away 
E                                 A 
like the last night of the blackout. 
                        E 
Set it up, fire it off. 
Dm                      E 
Set it up. Fire it off. 
 
Am 
Last week, we got the Kite up 
Dm 
above the poles and wire 
 Em 
with the last row of string, 
E 
we stood and watched the spectral thing, 
Am 
it swayed across the flight path. 
Dm 
Tail dancing. As we pull back 
Em 
till it’s time to cut the line, 
Am                           A 
and go our separate ways. 
 
                        E 
Set it up, fire it off. 
Dm                      E 
Set it up. Fire it off. 
Am 
Dweedodum dadada 
Dm 
Dweedada 
Em 
Dewededee 
Cmaj Fmaj 
Dewijadadada 
 
N.C. 
Jet trail streak forever. 
 
Till they break apart. 
N.C. 
Disappear evaporate. 
 
And  come back as works of art. 
N.C. 
set it up and fire it off, set it off and fire it up. 
 
Set it up and fire it off, set it off and fire it up.
