I was born on Halloween, in Roma, Italy
E B7
Just another white boy staring at the stars
E A E
And when I turned 39 me and the boys we hit the sky
A B E E7
And headed where they’d never been before
[Chorus]
A E
One small step for man, Jesus, Goddamn
E B7
22 hours hanging in the air
E A E
Sometimes you take the fame, sometimes you sit backstage
A B E
But if it weren’t for me them boys would still be there
[Verse]
E A E
When it came time to land, them boys they shook my hand
E B7
They said, “we’ll call you up when we need a ride”
E A E
They went down to the ground, and I floated around
A B E E7
With all them stars still twinkling in my eyes
[Chorus]
A E
One small step for man, Jesus, Goddamn
E B7
22 hours hanging in the air
E A E
Sometimes you take the fame, sometimes you sit backstage
A B E
But if it weren’t for me them boys would still be there
[Verse]
E A E
Now the history books will write about that fateful night
E B7
Them two fellas dancing on the moon
E A E
But they won’t say nothing bout me, waiting patiently
A B E E7
To bring them boys safely back home to you
[Chorus]
A E
One small step for man, Jesus, Goddamn
E B7
22 hours hanging in the air
E A E
Sometimes you take the fame, sometimes you sit backstage
A B E
But if it weren’t for me them boys would still be there
