"What Brings us Together"
And since I wrote it in February, I am going to double count it as a FAWM song, so Song #21
Using my Tacoma, down 1/2 step.
(G+5 means play G with an extra 5th, so |320033| instead of 320003)
G+5 C+9
A rocket launch sometime today,
G+5 D Dsus4
Don't know exactly when,
G+5 C+9
We have a launch window of course,
G+5 D Dsus4
If weather allows it then.
C G
Either way, I have to say,
C D
No matter how it ends,
C G
I'll watch lift off, now do not scoff
D Dsus4 G+5
with 15-million friends.
Now NASA has a You-Tube feed,
It's not the only one,
The rocket's standing on the pad
Gleaming in the sun.
And the rocket builder has their feed,
10 million subs as well,
15 million folk will watch it live,
as near as I can tell.
Either way, I have to say,
No matter how it ends,
We'll watch lift off, now do not scoff
with 15-million friends.
And 15 million cheers call out,
when the rocket hits max Q
And the boosters land upon the pad,
just as we hoped they'd do.
So even when the times seem dark
Listen, you'll here the sound,
Millions cheering breathlessly,
Gathered the world around.
Either way, I have to say,
No matter how it ends,
We'll watch lift off, so do not scoff
At my 15-million friends.
G+5 C
Right now, today, I have to say.
D G
I have 15 million friends.

Awww, this one made me tear up. I love that you show that good part of the internet....That it lets us have these crazy communal experiences like watching Lift Off and FAWM. What beautiful playing. Wow.
When I lived in Houston, my best friend's little girl was watching the lead up to lift off, and said "There's Meredith's Mommy" pointing to one of the astronauts.
