Capo 8... or just Transpose up 8 half steps but I like the voicing of the chords 
like this/ i just used a capo to figure them out.
FI wanna Cbe a Gstarship Cranger, FI wanna Chave the Gthings they've Am7got
FI could Cbe a E7Starship AmRanger, But there's Fjust Cone Amlittle Bbthing they Fare
         (C)
That I'm not
C---------- F  G  
CAll of my life I've pictured them out there,
Keeping the peace in outer space
FI may not be up there with 'em
GBut I've got what it takes
CI've got a hunger & thirst for adventure,
I wanna travel the galaxy
FThe future is now, so I don't see how
GThe time isn't right for me
And I'll admit Amit'Am7s alFl in my head
But who Csays it E7can't be Amreal?
They may be Ffar away, but I can safely say
It doesn't Cchange the way I Gfeel
FI wanna Cbe a GStarship CRanger
FEven Cif it Gmight sound Am7strange
FMaybe Cnow, I'm E7not a AmRanger
       F    C        Am        Bb        F  C-------- F  G  
But all of that is right about to change
CAll of your life you've had your head stuck 
Up in the gaseous atmosphere
FDon't forget that dirt is solid
GAnd clouds can disappear 
CWhen you're an insect you have a purpose, 
Like it or not, from a fly to a flea
FNeed I remind you, leave that stuff behind 
So you can Gfind what yours can be?
'Cause the needs Amof Am7the Fmany bugs
CThey outE7weigh the Amfew
And everyFbody knows it's just the way it goes
And there's Cnothing you can Gdo
FYou wanna Cbe a SGtarship CRanger?
FDiscover Cworlds Gfar and Am7near
FWho gives a Ccrap about E7Starship AmRangers?
The FgreaCtest Amlife to Bblive is Ffound right Chere
FDirt eater! ExoCskeleton GPolisher the Cbug that ruins your Fpicnic.
                                                         A fly on the wall
FWe've all Cgot a E7job to Amdo
And it's Fhow Cwe Amall surBbvive
                         F  G(sus4) G  
By giving our life to the hive
'Cause the needs Amof Am7the Fmany bugs
CThey outE7weigh the Amfew
I know toFday's the day (Today's the day)

The AbQueen will surely see I'm not like Ebanyone else
                                        Ab       Eb(G)
She'll take one look and know my rightful calling
