DOn the 28th of AJanuary G1986Em Christa McDAuliffe Gazed in Ahorror as the O-rings Gfailed, And she died, and she Emdied, and she died. For the Dnext agonising Atwo minutes and Gforty-five long Emseconds She called Dout the truth on a bAroken radioG: "I'm alive, I'm aEmlive, I'm alive".
-CHORUS-
AIt came as some surC#prise to reaDlise that As she lost Geverything AThe world was revealed in a C#transmission soD real That she understood Geverything:
You're still alive. (INTRO RIFF) You're still alive. -VERSE 2-
DFour thousand nautical Amiles as the crow Gflies away A Emhome-made ham radiDo in the loft of a AHampshire family Ghome Came alive, came aEmlive, came alive. And so the Dfour year old amateur Aoperator Gthus became The Emonly person to Dhear Christa's last desAperate communiGque: "We're alive, we're aEmlive, we're alive".
-CHORUS-
AIt came as some surC#prise to reaDlise that As she lost Geverything AThe world was revealed in a C#transmission soD real That she understood Geverything:
You're still alive. (PLAY FIRST CHORD FROM INTRO RIFF) And Christa said: -OUTRO- -It was a little tricky to decipher exactly how he plays this part but I reckon these chords work pretty well. -Please comment if you can figure it out a little better.
D"The darkness up abovGme Em7/DLed me on like uDnrequited love, BmWhile all the Bsus4things I need Were Adown here in the A7deep blue sea."
At Dfour Gmyears Em7/Dold I hDeard the truth on my Bmradio, So Bsus4now I keep a Amoment's silence A7for my Silent Key.
(END ON INTRO RIFF)
