VERSE 1
[Amaj7] Did no one [B7/A] see
[Am7] The vigil [Gmaj7] through the night
By [Fmaj7] candlelight, not [Am7] meaning to abuse
It’s now a [Am7] flashback for [C#dim7] [C7]
A [Bmaj7] dedicated [Emaj7] few
VERSE 2
We’re histo [B7/A] ry
[Am7] Consign this [Gmaj7] estuary
To [Fmaj7] northern seas and [Am7] ornamental ships
It’s now a [Am7] flashback for [C#dim7] [C7]
A [Bmaj7] dedicated [Emaj7] few
VERSE 1
[Dm7] From moon to Mars, the [A9sus4] slightest [Dm7] slip
But now we [F#dim7] rarely [F7] make the [Emaj7] trip
VERSE 3
[Amaj7] The skyline [B7/A] change
[Am7] May draw them [Gmaj7] to the park
With [Fmaj7] pencils sharp, com [Am7] peting for a view
It’s almost [Am7] summer now [C#dim7] [C7]
But [Bmaj7] winter for a [Emaj7] few
CHORUS 1
[Dm7] From moon to Mars, the [A9sus4] slightest [Dm7] slip
But now we [F#dim7] rarely [F7] make the [Emaj7] trip
CHORUS 2
[Dm7] A run to space could [A9sus4] save the [Dm7] South
There must be [F#dim7] stuff worth [F7] seeking [Emaj7] out
[Amaj7] [B7/A] [Am7] [Gmaj7] Ba ba ba ba [Fmaj7] ba ba ba ba
Ba ba [Am7] ba ba ba [C#dim7] [C7] [Bmaj7] [Emaj7]
