A              G     D       A
Countdown! Get ready for the blastoff!

    G        D       A           G     D    A     G
And don't forget the hype! We're going into space

  C           D    C        G     D   C
Distinguished scientists, a pesky senator

    G      A     G       D        A
And monkey turds leaking from the lab

    E             D                      A      G D A
All brought to us play-by-play by Howard Cosell
[Chorus]
       A                  D
You're going where no man has gone before

      C                     A
Don't ask us where that is, we have no idea

       A                     D
You're chosen for this great mission

           C                   A
Because we owe you some favors and besides, you're bright

  A  C   A G A
A little too bright
[Interlude] A G D A G D [Verse 2]
A         G   D         A
Step one: Senator, your vomit

     G       D  A               G     D    A    G C
It's time to analyze it for the folks back home

D        C      G          D        C
Open the hatch, launch the war satellite

G        A                 G        D     A    G D
That the commies aren't supposed to know about

         E                         D                          A    G D A
Our real challenge is to keep it a secret from the press back home
[Chorus]
       A                  D
You're going where no man has gone before

      C                     A
Don't ask us where that is, we have no idea

       A                     D
You're chosen for this great mission because

       C                      A
You're healthy and strong and make a lot of fuss

 A     C   A G    A
Especially around us

   A    C   A  G   A    C      A   G A
We like you better when you're far away
[Guitar Solo] A G D A A G D A C Eb F C F C F [Interlude] A G D A G D A G D A G D [Verse 3]
         A               G         D       A
Have you noticed? You're going the wrong direction

   G         D           A           G          D    A   G C
We have, but that's your problem, we planned it that way

   D         C    G  D      C
We had to dispose of all of you so

G      A         G     D   A
We can spoil the final frontier

             E                      D                             A   G D A
How dare you question our Star Wars plans for the farce that they are
[Chorus]
       A                  D
You're going where no man has gone before

    C                   A
For rocking the boat in our temple of doom

A                   D
You're on a one-way ticket to Pluto

C                    A
We wash our hands of you and your lost Ark

   A     C  A   G  A
So don't forget to write

A  C  A  G   A  C  A  G   A  C  A  G   A
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na
A
