Is Somebody Singing

[Intro] Em

   D              A9
On solid fuel and wires
         C       G         Em
Turn the key and light the fires
      D               A9    ( C  G ) Em
We’re leaving earth today
     D                A9
This rocket’s burning bright
      C       G      Em
We’ll soon be out of sight
    D            A9   ( C  G )
And orbiting in space

D                 A9
Pushed back in my seat
            Em
Look out my window
D           C
There goes home
D                  A9
That ball of shiny blue
       Em        D       C
Houses everybody anybody ever knew

[Estribillo]

             G        D
So sing your song I’m listening
A9        G/B        C         D
Out where stars are glistening I can
Em                D               C    ( C  C5  C )
hear your voices bouncing off the moon
             G        D
If you could see our nation
         A9   G/B       C     D
From the international space station
Em               D                 C
You’d know why I want to get back soon

Em       D                 A9
Eighteen thousand miles an hour
           C            G    Em
Fuelled by science and solar power
    D             A9   C  G Em
The oceans racing past
   D               A9
At half a thousand tons
        C       G       Em
Ninety minutes moon to sun
  D                A9            C G  D
A bullet can’t go half this fast

                 A9
Floating from my seat
            Em
Look out my window
D          C           D
There goes home
                        A9
That brilliant ball of blue
    Em                 D              C
Is where I’m from, and also where I’m going to

[Estribillo]
             G        D
So sing your song I’m listening
A9        G/B        C         D
Out where stars are glistening I can
Em                D               C    (C  C5  C)
hear your voices bouncing off the moon
             G        D
If you could see our nation
         A9   G/B       C     D
From the international space station
Em               D                 C
You’d know why I want to get back soon

A9            E/A                 D
All black and white just fades to grey
          A9        E/A             D
Where the sun rises sixteen times a day
A9                 E/A             D
You can’t make out borders from up here
        A9              E/A         D
Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere

( C  C5  C )

D                 A9
Pushed back in my seat
            Em
Look out my window
D          C
Here comes home
D                        A9
What once was fuelled by fear
        Em               D         C
Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here

[Estribillo]
             G        D
So sing your song I’m listening
A9        G/B        C         D
Out where stars are glistening I can
Em                D               C    ( C  C5  C )
hear your voices bouncing off the moon
             G        D
If you could see our nation
         A9   G/B       C     D
From the international space station
Em               D                 C
You’d know why I want to get back soon
Em               D                 C
You’d know why I want to get back soon
