Sleeping Satellite
Great Expectations (1992)

Capo 1re fret (en Fm)

< (Em)

  Em                  A
  I blame you for the moonlit sky
          Bm                       d       c♯     b
  And the dream that died with the eagles' flight
  I blame you for the moonlit nights
  When I wonder why are the seas still dry

  Cmaj7                Dsus2
  Don't blame this sleeping satellite...

       Em                                        (embarque)  basse: /E
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
       Dsus2
Did we squander the chance?
                   Cmaj7
In the rush of the race the reason we chase
           Dsus2
Is lost in romance

Em           Dsus2
And still we try
   Cmaj7
To justify the waste for a taste
         Bm
Of man's greatest adventure, wo

  Refrain

Have we lost what it takes to advance?
Have we peaked too soon?
If the world is so green, then why does it scream
Under a blue moon

We wonder why
If the Earth's sacrificed for the price
Of its greatest treasure, wo

  Refrain  

Em  Em  F♯m  G  Em  Em  F♯m  G G! F♯m F♯m!

And when we shoot for the stars
What a giant step
Have we got what it takes to carry the weight
Of this concept

Or pass it by
Like a shot in the dark, miss the mark
With a sense of adventure, wo

  Refrain  x 5  w/o ...
