A new song, and the first song to ever be premiered from space.
It's a collaboration by BNL and austronaut, Chris Hadfield. It also features the
Wexford Gleeks Choir.
These chords overall sound good, with just a couple rough spots. I tanscribed them
by ear, so feel free to submit any corrections. Enjoy!

[Intro]
Em, D, Am, C, D
[Verse 1]
Em D Am
On solid fuel and wires,
C D Em
Turn the key and light the fire,
D Am C D
We're leaving Earth today.
[Verse 2]
This rocket's burning bright,
We'll soon be out of sight,
And orbiting in Space.
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em
Pushed back in my seat,
G
Look out my window,
D Cadd9
There goes home.
D Em
That ball of shiny blue,
G D Cadd9 D
Houses everybody anybody ever knew.

[Chorus]
D (Let ring) G D
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Am C Am
Out where stars are glistening,
D Em D Am C
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
(C) D G D
If you could see our nation,
Am C Am D
From the International Space Station,
Em D Am
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Verse 3]
Eighteen thousand miles an hour,
Fueled by science and solar power,
The ocean's racing past.
[Verse 4]
At half a thousand tons,
Ninety minutes, Moon to Sun,
A bullet can't go half as fast.
[Pre-Chorus]
Floating from my seat,
Look out my window,
There goes home (There goes home).
That brilliant ball of blue,
Is where I'm from and also where I'm going to.
[Chorus]
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Out where stars are glistening,
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
If you could see our nation,
From the International Space Station,
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon).
[Bridge]
Em D C
All black and white just fades to gray,
Em D C
Where the Sun rises sixteen times a day (Day),
Em D C
You can't make out borders from up here,
Em D C
Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (Atmosphere).
[Break]
(Strum each chord once)
Cadd9, D, Cadd9
[Pre-Chorus]
Pushed back in my seat,
Look out my window,
Here comes home (Home).
What once was fueled by fear,
Now has fifteen nations orbiting together here.
[Chorus]
So sing your song, I'm listening,
Out where stars are glistening,
I can hear your voices bouncing off the Moon.
If you could see our nation,
From the International Space Station,
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Get back soon),
[Outro]
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
You'd know why I want to get back soon (Getting back to you, getting back to you),
You'd know why I want to get back soon.
