So Far Away
Ian Bairnson (klr)
[[D]] - [[Dsus]] - [[D]] - [[Dsus]]
We say [[D]] welcome to the mission, show us [[C]] all what you can do
We [[Bm]] need a man with vision, so we [[G]] put our trust in you
And [[D]] now we hope sincerely
That you?ll [[C]] do the best that you can [[D]] do [[Dsus]]
Oh, for [[D]] sure it won?t be easy and we?ll [[C]] have to risk our
lives
[[Bm]] Some will try to break us and [[G]] cut us down to size
But [[D]] just remember,
There can be no [[C]] consulation prize, [[D]] not in our eyes [[Dsus]]
It?s a [[C]] long [[G]] way to [[D]] go
We can?t [[C]] wait [[G]] one more [[D]] day
We need [[C]] some [[G]] one to [[C]] light [[G]] up the [[D]] way
We may [[C]] run [[G]] out of [[D]] time
Can you [[C]] hear [[G]] what we [[D]] say?
Because [[C]] hea [[G]] ven is [[C]] so [[G]] far a [[D]] way [[Dsus]]
Although [[D]] time is getting short there?s still some [[C]] sand left
in the glass
And [[Bm]] now we have a living, breathing [[G]] rocket man at last
It?s [[D]] time to take a step
And nail our [[C]] colours to the mast [[D]] - [[Dsus]]
No more [[D]] talk of great adventures when it?s [[C]] movement that we
need
It [[Bm]] must be our intentions that we [[G]] never lose the lead
So [[D]] count us down to zero
And [[C]] let?s get up to speed, we?re [[D]] up and away [[Dsus]]
It?s a [[C]] long [[G]] way to [[D]] go
We can?t [[C]] wait [[G]] one more [[D]] day
We need [[C]] some [[G]] one to [[C]] light [[G]] up the [[D]] way
We may [[C]] run [[G]] out of [[D]] time
Can you [[C]] hear [[G]] what we [[D]] say?
Because [[C]] hea [[G]] ven is [[C]] so [[G]] far a [[D]] way [[Dsus]]
[[C]] - [[G]] - [[D]] [[C]] - [[G]] - [[D]] [[C]] - [[G]] - [[C]] - [[G]] [[D]] -
[[Dsus]] -[[D]] - [[Dsus]]
And so [[D]] now they cry for justice, as if [[C]] justice will be done
But the [[Bm]] eye up in the sky was flying [[G]] to close to the sun
The [[D]] Challenger has fallen and the [[C]] race has now been run. . .
Enjoy all.
