    With just one hand ...held up high,

      Am       Em/G        Am      Em/G

    With just my heart and my mind, I can be driving,

                  Dm/F                     G
Driving home, and you asleep on the seat

[Verse 3]

      F                   G
I get out of my car, step into the night,

         Am        Asus2  Am  Asus4  Am  Asus2
And look up at the sky,

    Am      F                    G
And there's something bright ...traveling fast,

                   Am                  Em/G
...Just look at it go, just look at it go

Can't    ...do anything,

     G                                     Am

I was there at the birth, out of the cloudburst,

    Am          Asus2  Am   Asus4  Am  Asus2
The head of the tem  - pest,

The choral sections were inspired by the Georgian song 'Tsintskaro', which Kate had heard used in the soundtrack for director Werner Herzog's re-make of the vampire movie 'Nosferatu' Richard Hickox was the arranger Kate used for 'Hello Earth', and for the choral sections, rather than use a real foreign language, Richard suggested using vocalisations that just sounded like a language and Kate liked the idea.
