(You can repeat Riff #1 during this part) 
           F 
There’s a world out there,  
           Dm 
there’s a world out there,  
           F 
there’s a world out there  
waiting for you (x2) 


F 
Would you believe me if  
Dm 
I told you a  
F 
satellite paid me a  
Dm 
visit (No) 
F 
A round metal mound with a  
Dm 
telescope eye a  
F 
tear trickled down as he told me his Dm 
story 

    Bm 
His tale was a blur,  
            Gm 
I couldn’t make out the words,  
         Bm 
I said, “Slow down, begin       Gm 
at the beginning, and,  
D               Gm      D  Gm 
start with your name.” 
D               Gm      D  Gm 
Start with your name 


W.I.N.K.:  
          F             Dm 
My name is W.I.N.K. the Satellite,  
Bb                      C 
mission aborted coming home from endless nights 
F          Dm       Bb 
W.I.N.K. #109, our mission was a failure,  
        C 
we’re running out of time 

F                            Dm 
Sent to the Vice Quadrant to find us a new home 
    Bb                          C 
but unlike other satellites, I fear being alone 
F                               Dm 
When I saw her green visage, it was love at first sight 
    Bb                               C 
but then the Space Giant appeared and took the first bite 


(Play Riff #1 through the dialogue or the chords) 

Hatchworth: Ooh, that sounds bad. 
Rabbit: It doesn’t sound too good! 
Spine: Gang, we should do something about this. 
Rabbit: Okay! 
Hatchworth: Let’s. 

        F 
We can get Peter A Walter the 6th 
   Dm 
to turn you into a rocketship 
F                               Dm 
fly on back and speak with this Giant (Yeah) 

        F                          Dm 
We can ask it to please leave, and hope that it agrees 
             F                             Dm 
you see, the key to conflict resolution is communication 

(Riff #2 is in here) 
          Bm               Gm 
W.I.N.K.: Let’s give it a try 
Bm                Gm 
How much could it hurt? 

(Repeat D Gm through the guitar part if you don't play Riff #2) 

            F            Dm 
The name is W.I.N.K. the Satellite,  
Bb                      C 
mission reinstated let’s get up in that sky 
F          Dm        Bb                         C 
W.I.N.K. #109 let’s save the love I left behind    We’re ready to fly 
Bm 
Aaaaaah
