[Verse 1]
   D
We built a giant rocket
       G
And we sent it to the moon
        D
With an astronaut, a cosmonaut
  A
A dog and a baboon
         D
Tell the aliens on Jupiter
G
That we're coming soon
          D
And we're coming just
  A                   D
Because the stars are there


[Chorus 1]
             G
Because it's there
             D
Because it's there
           A
Because we could, because we should
           D
Because we dare
             G
Because it's there
                D
We'll pack some flares
      A
We're going to the stars
                D
Because they're there


[Verse 2]
   D
We built a little submarine
 G
Upon the ocean waves
      D
We're taking it to the bottom
   A
To Davy Jones's grave
        D
Through miles and miles of jellyfish
   G
A sailor must be brave
         D
But he's going just
  A                  D
Because the bottom's there


[Chorus 2]
             G
Because it's there
             D
Because it's there
           A
Because we could, because we should
           D
Because we dare
             G
Because it's there
                D
We'll pack some flares
      A
We're going to the bottom
            D*     G* D* A* D* G* D* A*
'Cause it's there


[Bridge]
G D A D
Oh, oh
G D A D
Ooh, oh


[Verse 3]
   D*
We climbed the top of Everest
   G*            G*
We said a silent prayer
       D*
To the ones who came before us
    A*
Who couldn't make it there
    D*
And yes, the going's treacherous
    G*                G*
And yes, we must take care
    D                  A
But we're going to the top
             D
Because it's there


[Chorus 3]
             G
Because it's there
             D
Because it's there
           A
Because we could, because we should
           D
Because we dare
             G
Because it's there
                D
We'll pack some flares
      A
We're going to the bottom
      A
We're going to the top
      A
We're going to the stars
                D*    G* D*
Because they're there


[Outro]
  A*            D*    G* D*
Because they're there
  A*            D
Because they're there
