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  Dsus

C - G - D   C - G - D   C - G - C - G   D -
Dsus -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.
