CA big hydrogen camp-fire
FWe could be here quite a few days
DmThe next place is four light-years away
BbWhen you're cCamping by the Fsun
[Chorus 1]
FYippee-yBbay-yeh, yippee-yFay-yo

F Dm Bb C F
[Verse 2]
FLike the earth roped the moon
DmThe sun's got us in it's own lasso
BbWe're doing dishes and we're taking showers
CAt sixty-five thousand miles and hour
FIt makes you want to play the guitar
DmAnd sing songs with Jupiter and Mars
BbWhen you're campCing by the sFun
[Chorus 2]

[Intro]

F Dm Bb C F

[Verse 1]

I like it here and so do you

On the one that’s green and blue

With everything that life requires

A big hydrogen camp-fire

We could be here quite a few days

The next place is four light-years away

Bb C F

When you're camping by the sun

[Chorus 1]

F Bb F

Yippee-yay-yeh, yippee-yay-yo

G C

Outer space is mighty cold

Unless by chance, you have found

A nice, warm star to fly around

Bb C F

Unless you're camping by the sun

[Vamp]

F Dm Bb C F

[Verse 2]

Like the earth roped the moon

The sun's got us in it's own lasso

We're doing dishes and we're taking showers

At sixty-five thousand miles and hour

It makes you want to play the guitar

And sing songs with Jupiter and Mars

Bb C F

When you're camping by the sun

[Chorus 2]

F Bb F

Yippee-yay-yeh, yippee-yay-yah

Outer space is very dark

Unless with luck, you have found

A nice, bright star to fly around

Unless you re camping by the sun

Outer space is mighty cold

Unless by chance, you have found

A nice, warm star to fly around

Bb C F

Unless you're camping by the sun

[Verse 2]

And just before you close your eyes

When the sun's on the other side

You can wonder at the countless thousands

The other fires and who's around them

And if the sticks for their hot dogs

Are ninety-eight million miles long

Bb C F

When you're camping by the sun

[Chorus 3]
