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. 

  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              Asus                Bm      A6           G                             G 
   And I look down on men's little earth, sitting there quietly, wondering what it's worth. 
            Asus  A              Bm            Asus        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. 

                Asus                        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. 
                Asus                        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.
