Countdown

Intro:  (E)  (E  A  Em  A) 2x

E                        A
Lit up with anticipation,   we 
arrive at the launching site
      Em                           
The sky is still dark, nearing 
 A
dawn,   on the Florida coastline

E                                 
Circling choppers slash the night,  
A
 with roving searchlight beams
      Em                          
This magic day when super-science,  
A
 mingles with the bright stuff of 
dreams

(E A Em A)

E                                 
Floodlit in the hazy distance, the
  A
 star of this unearthly show
 Em                                
Venting vapours, like the breath of
     A
 a, sleeping white dragon

E                                 
Crackling speakers, voices tense, 
   A
resume the final count
     Em                            
All systems check, T minus nine, as
      A
 the sun and the drama start to 
mount

    E                  A
The air is charged, a humid, 
motionless mass
      G                          A
The crowds and the cameras, the cars
 full of spectators pass

   E                             A
Excitement so thick - you could cut 
it with a knife

edge of life

(E)

E                            
The earth beneath us starts to 
                      A
tremble, with the spreading of a low
 black cloud
  Em                        
A thunderous roar shakes the 
                A
air,like the whole world exploding

  E                                
Scorching blast of golden fire, as 
    A
it slowly leaves the ground
 G                                 
Tears away with a mighty force, the
 A
 air is shattered by the awesome 
sound

(D  G  F  G) (D  G  F  C)

  E                              A
Excitement so thick - you could cut 
it with a knife
     G                      A
Technology - high, on the leading 
edge of life

        E                        
Like a pillar of cloud, the smoke 
  A
lingers high in the air
    F                     C
In fascination - with the eyes of 
the world we stare...
