MEMORY OF A FREE FESTIVAL from Space Oddity INTRO: F G C F G F G C F G C C F C G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7
    G                        Dm7 
The Children of the summer's end

Em                       Am
Gathered in the dampened grass

   Bm                            Bb
We played Our songs and felt the London sky

C                           G
Resting on our hands it was God's land

       C                       G     Dm7
It was ragged and naive it was Heaven

G                          Dm7
Touch, We touched the very soul

   Em                     Am
Of holding each and every life

   Bm                         Bb   
We claimed the very source of joy ran through

   C                          G
It didn't, but it seemed that way

  C                           G  Eb  C
I kissed a lot of people that day

C              Em  
Oh, to capture just one drop 

   C7           Am7                F  
Of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon

   G                F              C
To paint that love upon a white balloon

                    Em             C7      
And fly it from the toppest top of all the tops 

     Am7              F
That man has pushed beyond his brain

  G            F                  C      
Satori must be something just the same

   D                      Dmaj7
We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes 

    D7              D6              G6 
And saw machines of every shape and size

   A                  G               D   
We talked with tall Venusians passing through

                   Dmaj7
And Peter tried to climb aboard 

        D7                D6         
But the Captain shook his head

     G6       
And away they soared

A                    G             D
Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud

A                   G               D
Someone passed some bliss among the crowd

       A                  G  
And We walked back to the road, unchained
WEIRD BIT
    D              C                      G                   D
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, ah ah ah

    D              C                      G                   D
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, ah ah ah

    D              C                      G                   D
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, ah ah ah

    D              C                      G                   D
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, ah ah ah
Repeat until fade out...
