Capo 1
D Em
I took a rocket to the moon once, on a night a long time ago
D Em
The night I shuttled to the moon was quite a fright and very cold
Bm Em
Look out the window see the Earth disappear
Bm
The shuttle lands and it was clear
Em A
I’m on a rock, oh god
D Em
I suited up and took my first step on the white dirt we see from home
D Em
Seven steps I look behind me to see my shuttle, it had flown
Bm Em
I try to run in its direction, make my footprints fly
Bm
I didn’t make the connection
Em A
That bird has flown, I’m gonna cry
Bm Em
And the tears in my helmet made it hard to see
Bm Em
My head started spinning and my knees were weak
D D7
But then my ears didn’t fool me
Em A
From not to far, there was a beat
And then some singing, yeah
D D7
“You are not alone”
Em A
Said the rumble, under my feet
D D7 Em A
“I’ve been so alone, if you walk to me, we can meet”
D Em
It was a voice that I’d never heard, but a presence to which I was familiar
D
I glide in the direction that the sound drew me
Em
It was a long way, the journey
Bm Em
The white rocks that were below me started to fight with my feet
Bm Em A
The moon surface below me started to crack apart into a smile
Bm Em
It was then that I realized,
Bm Em
I was standing on a face that I’d seen many times
D D7
And then my eyes weren’t playing games,
Em A
From right below me, there was a smile
And then some singing, yeah.
D D7
“You are not alone”
Em A
Said the rumble, under my feet
D D7 Em A
“I’ve been so alone, if you walk to me, we can meet”
D D7
“You are not alone”
Em A
Said the rumble, under my feet
D D7 Em
“I’ve been so alone, it was a matter of time (it was a matter of time)
A
For you to save me (for you to save me)
Em
It was a matter of time (it was a matter of time)
A
For you to save me
Interlude: D D7 Em A (x2)
Bm Em
I had become the savior of the man on the moon
Bm Em
I’d stay to solve his loneliness and not go home soon
D D7
And all we had was this old tune
Em A
In not too long, we’d kill the gloom
