Indigo Girls – Galileo (Guitar)

C      G           F            G
Galileo's head was on the block

C      G           F            G
The crime was looking up the truth 

C      G           F            G
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode

         Am         Em    F         G
I try to trace them to my youth 

C      G           F            G
And then you had to bring up reincarnation

C      G           F            G
Over a couple of beers the other night

 Am         Em    F         G
And now I'm serving time for mistakes

    Am         Em    F         G
Made by another in another lifetime

C      G           F            G
How long 'til my soul gets it right 

C      G           F            G
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light 

Am             Em     D11
I call on the resting soul of Galileo 

F      G     C     G      F      G
King of night vision king of insight 

C      G           F            G
And then I think about my fear of motion 

C      G           F            G
Which I never could explain 

C      G           F            G
Some other fool across the ocean years ago 

  Am         Em    F         G
Must have crashed his little airplane

C      G           F            G
How long 'til my soul gets it right 

C      G           F            G
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light 

Am             Em     D11
I call on the resting soul of Galileo 

F      G     C     G      F      G
King of night vision king of insight 

 Am        -        F    -
I'm not making a joke, you know me

 Am        -        F    -
I take everything so seriously 

 Am        -        F    -
If we wait for the time till all souls get it right 

Ebdim7     -        F -
Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation 

G          F       G      F
In my lifetime, I'm still not right 

C      G           F            G
I offer thanks to those before me 

C      G           F            G
That's all I've got to say 

C      G           F            G
Maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime 

Am         Em    F         G
Now I have to pay

C      G           F            G
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration 

C      G           F            G
To let the next life off the hook 

C      G           F            G
Or she'll say look what I had to overcome from my last life 

Am         Em    F         G
I think I'll write a book 

C      G           F            G
How long 'til my soul gets it right 

C      G           F            G
Can any human being ever reach the highest light

Am             Em     D11
Except for Galileo, God rest his soul

Am             Em     D11
    The resting soul of Galileo 

F      G     C     G      F      G
King of night vision, king of insight
