Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
[Verse 1]
Am
Oh, I could have worked on a research staff
G
I could have been stationed on the sea
C G C C
Or dug a cozy niche in diseases of the rich
Em
But that wasn't good enough for me (oh, no)
[Verse 2]
Am G C G
I was tired of the land of diseases that were bland
Em
And some troubles that I didn't care to face
Am G C G
So now I wake each morning to the intercom's warning
E Em Am
And I wonder why I ever went to space
[Chorus]
C
Oh, there's aches and pains and wounds and sprains
G
And a space-borne plague or two
C G C G
So I'll do my best, and I'll run another test,
E Em Am
And pour myself another mug of brew
[Verse 3]
Am
Now I serve a starship's crew with a million things to do
G
And a headache that I really can't afford
C G C G
And some crewman's got a pet that I haven't studied yet
Em
Well, at least I must admit I'm never bored
[Verse 4]
Am G C G
Half the calls I receive Mayo Clinic won't believe
Em
I get sex lives of the birds on Altair 5
Am G C G
I get fungus that eats glass, I get boils on the ass,
E Em Am
And I somehow get the crew back home alive
[Chorus]
C
Oh, there's aches and pains and wounds and sprains
G
And a space-borne plague or two
C G C G
So I'll do my best, and I'll run another test,
E Em Am
And pour myself another mug of brew
Thank you
[Verse 5]
Am
I get psychos running loose, I get ailing Vegan moose
G
And hallucinogenic mists upon the breeze
C G C G
I get viral plagues from Mars and neurotics from the stars
Em
Tell me, what am I supposed to do with these?
[Verse 6]
Am G C G
But when the battle's won, and the rush and worry's done,
Em
And I've got some time to wonder why I'm here
Am G C G
When I weigh the life that's mine with the one I left behind,
E Em Am
What the hell, I guess I'll stay another year!
[Chorus]
C
Oh, there's aches and pains and wounds and sprains
G
And a space-borne plague or two
C G C G
So I'll do my best, and I'll run another test,
E Em Am
And pour myself another mug of brew
Thank you
