[C#] [A]
When the rocket stands before us [E] like a tower of glass and steel,
[A] Then no words in any language [E] can express the way we [A] feel.
Mingled joy and hope and terror [Bm] as we're starting on [A] our way,
And [D] we [A] suddenly consider [E] that it just might [A] help to pray.
So we pray to Great Green Mother [E] Earth and the Grim Old God of Space,
[A] And the gods of flame and [E] metal whom we've summoned to this place.
Oh, [A] you gods of light and physics, now [Bm] you have us in [A] your care.
[D] We hope [A] that you will listen [E] to a rocket [A] rider's prayer.
So first let's pray to Vulcan, [E] ugly god of forage and flame,
[A] And also Wiseman Nerva, [E] now we glorify your name.

To [Bm] please help [A] the lowest bidders [E] who've constructed [A] all the parts.

As we're lifting off, it's Mercury [E] who'll help us in our need.
[A] Not only as the patron [E] god of health and flight and speed,
[A] We hope that he will guard us as [D] we're starting [A] on our trip,
As the [D] god [A] of thieves and liars [E] like the ones who [A] built this ship.

If we make it into orbit where [E] the sky is starry black,
We'll [A] have time to praise Old Mother [E] Earth and hope she wants us back,
[A] And tell all the other deities [Bm] who've helped us [A] on our way,
[D] That it's [A] nice to visit heaven, but [E] we didn't want [A] to stay.

Now we're going down from orbit back [E] to where the air is thick,
[A] With no engines and a glide [E] path of a highly polished brick,
[A] And with nothing but those tiles [D] between our hides and [A] flame and hell,
[D] Better pray to [A] Hell's own Pluto that [E] they glue those [A] suckers well.
