D                    A6                   Bm
   From here in my cage I see them make plans,
                       G                            D
Hear them reassure investors, shake presidents' hands.
D                    A6                  Bm
   The men with machines put tubes into me,
                     G                           D
They measure my vital signs, my flight trajectory.
D                    A6                     Bm
   They taught me to sit, taught me to lie down.
                    G                                 D
Told me that a thousand years of wondering would end now.
D                          A6                      Bm
   They fed me my last meal, was the same as my first.
                  G                      D
From here in my cage, I watch the men work.
 
Interlude: D A6
 
D                  A6                       Bm
   And now it's a flurry of lab coats and hurry.
                G                        D
They talk about budgets and taxpayers' money.
D                A6                   Bm
   And I wag my tail and I be a good girl,
                            G                                        D
They forgot to walk me this morning they were too busy changing the world.
D                       A6                        Bm
   And I'm out from my cage and I'm trying to be brave,
                    G                          D
But the men they are sweating and now they're injecting,
D            A6
   And as I awake
                Bm
I'm shocked and amazed.
    G
   At the sheer, crushing empty.
 

G              Asus4               Bm      A6           G                             G
   And I look down on men's little earth, sitting there quietly, wondering what it's worth.
            Asus4 A              Bm            Asus4       G                           D
And I drift away, but that's okay, there's more room to play out here than back in my cage.
 
 
                   A5               Bm
And I know I will die, but that is fine,
                 G                 D
Cause in some way I am helping mankind.
                 A5                                Bm
And I don't understand, cause I'm not as smart as them,
                G                                D
But even a parachute would have shown that they cared.
 

D                  A6              Bm
   And so I float on, space's only dog.
               G                D
Friend to the stars, pet of the sun.
               A6                Bm
From my little ship I dream of my bone,
              G                             G
A walk in the park, something comfy to sleep on.
 

                Asus4                       Bm
And they call me Laika but I'd just like to say  
     A            G                                 G
That I was born Little Curly and I'll die with that name.
                Asus4                       Bm
Yeah they call me Laika but I'd just like to say
       A            G                                    D
 I was born Little Curly and I'll die with that name.
