Chords
A new song, and the first song to ever be premiered from space.
It's a collaboration by BNL and austronaut, Chris Hadfield. It also features the
Wexford Gleeks Choir.
These chords overall sound good, with just a couple rough spots. I transcribed them
by ear, so feel free to submit any corrections. Enjoy!

[Intro]
Em D Am C G
[Verse 1]
Em D Am On solid fuel and wires, C G Em Turn the key and light the fire, D Am C G We're leaving Earth today.
[Verse 2]
Em D Am This rocket's burning bright, C G Em We'll soon be out of sight, D Am C G And orbiting in Space.
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em Pushed back in my seat, G Look out my window, D Cadd9 There goes home. D Em That ball of shiny blue, G D Cadd9 D Houses everybody anybody ever knew.
[Chorus]
D (Let ring) G D So sing your song, I'm listening, Am C Am Out where stars are glistening, D Em D Am C I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon. (C) D G D If you could see our nation, Am C Am D From the International Space Station, Em D Am You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Verse 3]
Em D Am Eighteen thousand miles an hour, C G Em Fueled by science and solar power, D Am C G The ocean's racing past.
[Verse 4]
Em D Am At half a thousand tons, C G Em Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun, D Am C G A bullet can't go half as fast.
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em Floating from my seat, G Look out my window, D Cadd9 There goes home (There goes home). D Em That brilliant ball of blue, G D Cadd9 D Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to.
[Chorus]
D (Let ring) G D So sing your song, I'm listening, Am C Am Out where stars are glistening, D Em D Am C I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon. (C) D G D If you could see our nation, Am C Am D From the International Space Station, Em D Am You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Bridge]
Em D C All black and white just fades to gray, Em D C Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day), Em D C You can't make out borders from up here, Em D C Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).
[Break]
(Strum each chord once)
Cadd9 D Cadd9
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em Pushed back in my seat, G Look out my window, D Cadd9 Here comes home (Home). D Em What once was fueled by fear, D D Cadd9 D Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here.
[Chorus]
D (Let ring) G D So sing your song, I'm listening, Am C Am Out where stars are glistening, D Em D Am C I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon. (C) D G D If you could see our nation, Am C Am D From the International Space Station, Em D Am You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Outro]
Em D Am You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), Em D Am You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), Em D Am You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), Em (Strum once) D (Strum once) Am (Strum once) You'd know why I want to get back soon.
