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 tanscribed them by ear, so feel free to submit any corrections. Enjoy! -Standard Tuning- -No Capo- -Chords Are Played As Follows:- Dm: 022000 C: xx0232 Dm: x02210 F: x32010 C: 320033 Fadd9: x32033 [Intro] Dm, C, Dm, F, C [Verse 1]

Dm   C               Dm
  On solid fuel and wires,

         F       C          Dm
Turn the key and light the fire,

       C                Dm   F   C
We're leaving Earth today.

[Verse 2] This rocket's burning bright, We'll soon be out of sight, And orbiting in Space. [Pre-Chorus]

C                 Dm   
Pushed back in my seat,

            C    
Look out my window,

C          Fadd9
There goes home.

C                  Dm
That ball of shiny blue,

       C         C         Fadd9    C
Houses everybody anybody ever knew.

[Chorus]

C (Let ring)   C          C
So  sing your song, I'm listening,

Dm         F         Dm
Out where stars are glistening,

C     Dm               C                Dm     F 
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.

(F)  C         C       C
 If you could see our nation,

         Dm   F    Dm          C
From the International Space Station,

Dm               C                Dm 
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).

[Verse 3] Eighteen thousand miles an hour, Fueled by science and solar power, The ocean's racing past. [Verse 4] At half a thousand tons, Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun, A bullet can't go half as fast. [Pre-Chorus] Floating from my seat, Look out my window, There goes home (There goes home). That brilliant ball of blue, Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to. [Chorus] So sing your song, I'm listening, Out where stars are glistening, I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon. If you could see our nation, From the International Space Station, You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon). [Bridge]

Dm            C                   F
All black and white just fades to gray,

          Dm        C              F
Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day),

Dm                 C               F
You can't make out borders from up here,

       Dm                C          F
Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).

[Break] (Strum each chord once) Fadd9, C, Fadd9 [Pre-Chorus] Pushed back in my seat, Look out my window, Here comes home (Home). What once was fueled by fear, Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here. [Chorus] So sing your song, I'm listening, Out where stars are glistening, I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon. If you could see our nation, From the International Space Station, You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon), [Outro] You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you), You'd know why I want to get back soon.
