Astronaut

Tuning: Standard Here are the chords to the band's title track from their 2004 album. Much of this song is acoustic based, with Simon LeBon playing these chords live and Andy Taylor playing along for some of them. Andy also does some extra work on the electric in parts of the song, as well. Verse One: Makes my hair stand up on end Something alien happening Synchronized but don't comprehend Coz where I stop that's where you begin I know the moment I commit A pleasure rising when I take the hit And I'm addicted to state you're in Cos you're getting me out of it Wasted There is nothing gonna ace this And we're gonna go to space kid Cos I'm leaving with an astronaut Verse Two: Groovin-out to x-ray spex Something tells me you're the alien sex I can't imagine now; what comes next When this astronaut connects? Coming-on when I touch your skin A kind of strange light you emit I feel your gravity pull me in Now you're getting me out of it Wasted There is nothing gonna ace this And we're gonna go to space kid Cos I'm leaving with an astronaut (Repeat Again) Bridge: (No Chords Played Here) Bare-feet for quantam leap Because space is hot and deep And we follow giant footprints as we fall... in falling like the twins through Saturn's holy rings And if they can't hold us Where it's gonna end up - anybody knows Interlude: An A-stronaut An A-stronaut Wasted There is nothing gonna ace this And we're gonna go to space kid Cos I'm leaving with an astronaut (Repeat Again) Finale: Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop An A-stronaut There are many upstrokes here... and they follow the same pattern throughout the song: Em: down, up up up B: up, down, up : up Am: down, up A; down, up up up E: up, down, up D: up, down, up And here's how it should look in tab form... try to hit some of the bottom strings when playing as well for a better sound.
