(Play only bar chords)
Verse 01:
D (let ring) (Pick Slide up)
First they took my TOS
B (Pick Slide down)
Then they took my TNG
E (Pick Slide up)
Said “bon voyage” to Voyager
Now there’s nothing left for me
(start strumming with finger mute)
Decommissioned DS9
Now there’s no more Enterprise
Erased the animated show
Yeah, she met a quick demise
Chorus:
The final frontier has been finalized
There ain’t no coming back
It’s getting no reprise
It boldly came and went
Got no Trek to represent
I never thought the day
Would come that I had to say
D Riff1
It’s dead Jim

Verse 2: (same chords as v1 but with full palm mute)
Space is cold and so am I
Just like Kirk my show has died
Everything has gone awry
I guess it’s time to say goodbye (back to finger mute)
‘Cause Scotty’s gone and so is Bones
They took their final voyage home
And I guess I’ve always known
That someday I’d be alone
(repeat chorus and riff1 x2)
Bridge:
Tore down the sets today
Gave the plastic ears away
Sold the props on eBay
Left my life in disarray
Solo: (coming soon)
(Repeat chorus and riff1 x2)
Outro:
It’s dead Jim, It’s dead jim, it’s dead jim, it’s dead jim
N.C. D (let ring)
Until they bring it back again
