This is my first Tab. I probably got it all wrong but hey, I tried.

D A6 Bm
From here in my cage I see them make plans,
G D
Hear them reassure investors, shake presidents' hands.
D A6 Bm
The men with machines put tubes into me,
G D
They measure my vital signs, my flight trajectory.
D A6 Bm
They taught me to sit, taught me to lie down.
G D
Told me that a thousand years of wondering would end now.
D A6 Bm
They fed me my last meal, was the same as my first.
G D
From here in my cage, I watch the men work.
D A6
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/wil_wagner/laika_crd.html ]
D A6 Bm
And now it's a flurry of lab coats and hurry.
G D
They talk about budgets and taxpayers' money.
D A6 Bm
And I wag my tail and I be a good girl,
G D
They forgot to walk me this morning they were too busy changing the world.
D A6 Bm
And I'm out from my cage and I'm trying to be brave,
G D
But the men they are sweating and now they're injecting,
D A6
And as I awake
Bm
I'm shocked and amazed.
G
At the sheer, crushing empty.
G Asus Bm A6 G G
And I look down on men's little earth, sitting there quietly, wondering what it's worth.
Asus A Bm Asus G D
And I drift away, but that's okay, there's more room to play out here than back in my cage.
A5(xxx225) Bm
And I know I will die, but that is fine,
G D
Cause in some way I am helping mankind.
A5(xxx225) Bm
And I don't understand, cause I'm not as smart as them,
G D
But even a parachute would have shown that they cared.
D A6 Bm
And so I float on, space's only dog.
G D
Friend to the stars, pet of the sun.
A6 Bm
From my little ship I dream of my bone,
G G
A walk in the park, something comfy to sleep on.
Asus Bm
And they call me Laika but I'd just like to say
A G G
That I was born Little Curly and I'll die with that name.
Asus Bm
Yeah they call me Laika but I'd just like to say
A G D(x00235)
I was born Little Curly and I'll die with that name.
