Em7
Lit up with anticipation

A
We arrive at the launching site

G6
The sky is still dark, nearing dawn

F#m/E
On the Florida coastline

Em7
Circling choppers slash the night

     A
With roving searchlight beams

     G6
This magic day when super-science

F#m/E
Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams

Em7
Floodlit in the hazy distance

    A
The star of this unearthly show

G6
Venting vapours, like the breath

    F#m/E
Of a sleeping white dragon

Em7
Crackling speakers, voices tense

A
Resume the final count

    G6
All systems check, T minus nine

       F#m/E
As the sun and the drama start to mount

    E
The air is charged

  A
A humid, motionless mass

    G
The crowds and the cameras,

    A
The cars full of spectators pass

   E
Excitement so thick

          A
You could cut it with a knife

     F
Technology high

       C
On the leading edge of life

    Em7
The earth beneath us starts to tremble

         A
With the spreading of a low black cloud

  G6
A thunderous roar shakes the air

         F#m/E
Like the whole world exploding

Em7
Scorching blast of golden fire

      A
As it slowly leaves the ground

G6
Tears away with a mighty force

    F#m/E
The air is shattered by the awesome sound

  E
Excitement so thick

          A
You could cut it with a knife

    G
Technology high

       A
On the leading edge of life

       E
Like a pillar of cloud

          A
The smoke lingers high in the air

   F
In fascination

         C
With the eyes of the world we stare
