Song

Fireball XL5 (for all you fellow nostalgics out there)

Composed by Barry Gray

Sung by Don Spencer

Intro:

G G FFF G \ \ \

C Am

I wish I was a spaceman

Dm G7

The fastest guy alive

C Am

I'd fly you around the Universe

Dm G7

In Fireball XL5

Am Em

Way out in space together

Dm G G F F F G

Conquerors of the skies

tacet ... C Fill 1

My heart would be a fireball

Am Fill 2

A fireball

F G C G \ \ \ \

Everytime I gazed into your starry eyes.

We'd take the path to Jupiter

And maybe very soon

We'd cruise along the Milky Way

And land upon the Moon

To a wonderland of stardust

We'll zoom our way to Mars

My heart would be a fireball

A fireball

F G C G \ \ \ C

If you would be my Venus of the stars

Fill 1 (over a chord of 'C')
