C                        E
Can you tell me how old Dan might have done it
F7/A                        Cm
If he'd been here now, holy cow
                                       C
My stars might have been read on the planet Mars
E                                  Am
Because I don't have foresight to see
                                Cm
If we still be together in the twenty first
                          C
In the twenty first century

He's our flyin' ace, Pilot of the Future
In an endless space, holy cow
My eyes never saw a rocket that was quite that size
'Cause I don't have the energy
To be cat and mouse for the champions
For the champions of destiny, oh no

Chorus:
   F7   F7/A    F7/C F7/A
So long captain Dan
          F7           F7/A       F7/C
I fail to see what motivates your hands
F7/A C
Goodbye restless night
           D
You know I loved Dan Dare, but I couldn't make his flight
   C   F/C C    Fm
So long,     so long

F                       F F/A
Dan Dare doesn't know it
F/C               F F/A
He doesn't know it
F/C               G G/G# Am
He doesn't know it
       Cm/B      C
But I liked the Mekon

Chorus

Dan Dare doesn't know it
He doesn't know it
He doesn't know it
But I liked the Mekon
