G

[Verse 1]
G
We’re high above the tranquil sea
G
I take a big deep breath and set the Eagle free
      C                                          G
Oh I know what I know and I know it’s all up to me
       C                                    G
But I feel what I feel and I feel the history

G
Over two hundred thousand miles home
G
If the Eagle fails I go back alone
     C                                          G
Oh I know what I know and I know it’s all up to me
      C                                          G
But I feel what I feel and yeah I feel the history

[Chorus 1]
G                        A                        F                      G
They got names like superheroes, bigger than The Beatles or I could ever be
G                          A                      F                          G
They got all the great one-liners, written in the schoolbooks for all eternity

[Verse 2]
G
They’re bouncing up and down in the tranquil sea
G
Three hundred million girls watch on TV
     C                                           G
Oh I know what I know and I know its just jealousy
       C                                     G
But I feel what I feel and I feel it endlessly

[Chorus 2]
G                        A                        F                      G
They got names like superheroes, bigger than The Beatles or I could ever be
G                          A                      F                          G
They got all the great one-liners, written in the schoolbooks for all eternity

[Bridge]
Bb                      F                     C                         G
We are waiting for connection, trans-Earth injection, three thousand degrees, yes
Bb                        F                       C                           D
Splashdown, North Pacific Ocean; soon we will be home where Hornet waits for three, yeah

[Verse 3]
       C                                    G
Oh, I know what I know, as my parachutes released
      C                                      G
Like peppermint candy we float in a blue-sky dream
       G                                       G
Like Starlite Mints we move through the cotton sky
        C                                        G
And the arms of the ocean are stretched out open wide

[Chorus 3]
G                          A                         F                          G
They got all the great one-liners, written in the schoolbooks for everyone who reads
G                             A                         F                         G
Yeah they got names like superheroes, bigger than The Beatles on black and white TV
G                              A                     F                          G
And now I’ve all but been forgotten, Forgotten Astronaut has been lost to history
