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]
Dm, C, Dm, F, C
[Verse 1]
Dm On Csolid fuel and wDmires,
Turn the Fkey and Clight the fDmire,
We're lCeaving Earth todaDmy. F C
[Verse 2]
This rocket's burning bright,
We'll soon be out of sight,
And orbiting in Space.
[Pre-Chorus]
CPushed back in my Dmseat,
Look out my Cwindow,
CThere goes Fadd9home.
CThat ball of shiny Dmblue,
Houses Ceverybody Canybody evFadd9er knew. C
[Chorus]
C (Let ring) C C
So sing your song, I'm listening,
DmOut where sFtars are gDmlistening,
CI can Dmhear your voices Cbouncing off the DmMoon. F
(F) C C C
If you could see our nation,
From the DmInterFnatioDmnal Space StCation,
DmYou'd know why I Cwant to get back Dmsoon (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]
DmAll black and Cwhite just fades to Fgray,
Where the DmSun rises Csixteen times aF day (Day),
DmYou can't make out Cborders from up Fhere,
Just a Dmspinning ball withCin a tiny aFtmosphere (Atmosphere).
[Break]
(Strum each chord once)
Fadd9, C, Fadd9
[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.
