This is my first tab, but as far as i can tell this seems accurate, here's the video to compare:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKGA9VISmBQ
Strumming pattern is easy to pick up from the video. Georgia uses some variations on the D chord every now and
then using her pinkie, but it's not necessarily required to sound good.
Enjoy.

G D Em/D
From here in my cage I see them make plans,
Cadd9 G
Hear them reassure investors, shake presidents' hands.
G D Em/D
The men with machines put tubes into me,
Cadd9 G
They measure my vital signs, my flight trajectory.
G D Em/D
They taught me to sit, taught me to lie down.
Cadd9 G
Told me that a thousand years of wondering would end now.
G D Em/D
They fed me my last meal, was the same as my first.
Cadd9 G
From here in my cage, I watch the men work.
G D Em/D Cadd9
G D Em/D
And now it's a flurry of lab coats and hurry.
Cadd9 G
They talk about budgets and taxpayers' money.
G D Em/D
And I wag my tail and I be a good girl,
Cadd9 G
They forgot to walk me this morning they were too busy changing the world.
G D Em/D
And I'm out from my cage and I'm trying to be brave,
Cadd9 G
But the men they are sweating and now they're injecting,
G D
And as I awake
Em/D
I'm shocked and amazed.
Cadd9
At the sheer, crushing empty.
Cadd9 D Em/D D Cadd9
And I look down on men's little earth, sitting there quietly, wondering what it's worth.
D Em/D D Cadd9 G
And I drift away, but that's okay, there's more room to play out here than back in my cage.
G D Em/D
And I know I will die, but that is fine,
Cadd9 G
Cause I know in some way I am helping mankind.
D Em/D
And I don't understand, cause I'm not as smart as them,
Cadd9 G
But even a parachute would have shown that they cared.
G D Em/D
And so I float on, space's only dog.
Cadd9 G
Friend to the stars, pet of the sun.
G D Em/D
From my little ship I dream of my bone,
Cadd9
A walk in the park, something comfy to sleep on.
D Em/D
And they named me Laika but I'd just like to say
D Cadd9
That I was born Little Curly and I'll die with that name.
D Em/D
Yeah they named me Laika but I'd just like to say
D Cadd9
I was born Little Curly and I'll die with that name.
