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 <sup>Dsus

Dsus</sup> - ^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.
