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.
