Gi nwa nke chukwu, gini ka ina ekwu

N'ihi ihe nile
C# G#

C# G# F# (x2)
[Verse 1]
C#
I tried my best to be just like
G# F#
The other boys in school
C#
I tried my best to get it right
G# F#
And died at every duel
C#
This mountainside is suicide
G# F#
This dream will never work
C#
Still the sign upon my headstone, write
G# F#
"D# champion of the world"
C# G# F# (x2)
[Verse 2]
C#
Yeah I tried my best to stay alight
G# F#
Fly like a firework
C#
I tried my best at taking flight
G# F#
But my rocketship reversed
C#
Oh, referee, don't stop the fight
G# F#
Everyone can see I'm hurt
C#
But I'll stand before conquistadors
G# F#
Til I'm champion of the world
[Chorus]
F# F#
(When I sail) And when I sail
C#
I'm sailing west
F#
(Though I might fail) Knowing I might fail
C# G#
But, still I am hoping for the best
F#
(In my dreams) And in my dreams
A#m
Onto my chest
F#
She'll pin the colours and say
F#
"I wandered the whole wide world but
G# C#
Baby, you're the best"
C# G# F# (x2)
[Outro]
C#
So I'm flying on my bicycle
G# F#
Heading upwards from the Earth
C#
I am jumping with no parachute
G# F#
Out into the universe
C#
I have E.T. on my bicycle
G# F#
Because giving up won't work
C#
I am riding on my rocketship
G# F#
And I'm champion of the world
