Capo III*

           
She packed my 

              
bags last nigh

Zero hour, nin

And I'm gonna 

           
be high as a k

I miss the ear

miss my wife
           
It's lonely ou

     
t in space
            
On such a time

   
less flight

             
And I think it

              
's gonna be a
