----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Tuning: Standard 



C7                               F
Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun
  C7        F             C7       F 
A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience
C7                 F         D7
Call him a Nazi he wont even frown
Gm   F            C7          F
Nazi schmazi says Wernher von Braun

 
E7                    Am
Dont say that hes hypocritical
    E7               Am
Say rather that hes apolitical
C7                          F                     D7
Once the rockets are up who cares where they come down
      Gm     F               C7          F
Thats not my department says Wernher von Braun


C7                             F
Some have harsh words for this man of renown
    C7             F               C7        F
But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude
         C7                     F          D7
Like the widows and cripples in old London town
    Gm              F           C7          F
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun


E7                   Am
You too may be a big hero
           E7                            Am
Once youve learned to count backwards to zero
   C7                       F            D7
In German or English I know how to count down
       Gm           F        C7          F
And Im learning Chinese says Wernher von Braun
