Chords for The Space Race Is Over ~ Billy Bragg (1996)

_ _ _ [G#] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _
When I was [G#] young I told [E] my [B] mom
_ I'm gonna walk [A] on the moon someday
[B] _
Armstrong and [G#] Aldrin spoke [E] to [B] me
_ _ Houston and Cape [A] Kennedy _
And I watched the [E] Eagle landing
On a [F#m] night when the moon [E] was full
And as it [G#m] tugged at the [C#] tides
I knew that [E] deep inside [B] I too could be [E] lit
_ [A] I _
[E] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[F#] lie in my bed and dreamed [E] I [B] walked
In a sea [A] of _ tranquility
[E] I knew that [F#] someday soon we'd all [B] sail through _
_ The high [A] tide of technology
The dreams that all [E] have been taken
_ And [F#m] the window seats [E] taken too
And _ [G#m] _ [C#] 2001's almost [E] come and gone
What am [B] I supposed to do?
_ [A] Now that the space [E] age is over
[A] It's been [E] hands down, [A] I'll [E] never get to
[B] _ Now that the space [F#] age is over
I can't [E] help but feel we've [B] all grown up [A] too _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [G#] _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [G#] Now my [C#m] dreams have all [E] been shattered
_ And my [F#] wings are tattered too
_ [A] And I can [G#m] still fly [C#] with my [E] head as high [B] as what I wanted to
_ [A] Now that the space [E] age is over
[A] It's been [E] hands down, [A]
I'll never [E] get to
[B] _ _ Now [A] that the space [E] age is over
I can't help but feel [B] we've all grown up [A] too
_ My [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
son and I stand [F#] beneath the great [E] night sky
[B] _
_ Gaze [A] up in wonder
_ [E] _
Telling the tale [C#] of [E] Apollo
[B] He said, why did [A] they ever go?
It [C#m] may look [B] like some [E] empty gesture
To [F#m] go all that way just to come back
But [A] don't offer [E] me a place [C#] out inside [E] the space
[B] Cause we're in the hell's back
_ Now [A] that the space [E] age is over
[A] It's been [E] hands down, [A] I'll never [E] get out of [B] my room
Now [A] that the space [E] age is over
I can't help but feel [B] we're all just going away _ _ _
