F#m
    We're leaving together,
                Bm
But still it's farewell
F#m
    And maybe we'll come back,
   E/G#     A
To earth, who can tell?
D                  E
  I guess there is no one to blame
A       E/G#    F#m      E       D
  We're leaving ground  (leaving ground)
                 C#m           E
Will things ever be the same again?

F#m
    We're heading for Venus
               Bm
and still we stand tall
F#m
    Cause maybe they've seen us
    E/G#     A
and welcome us all
D              E
  With so many light years to go
A     E/G#         F#m     E     D
  and things to be found  (to be found)
                    C#m           E
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.
 
 
[Chorus]

i liked it...

Nice tab! Wether it's right or wrong, it seems to sound fine to me .I've enjoyed playing this and I've only been playing for 18 months.The only bit I have trouble with is the C# but that's purely down to my inexperience and fumbling fingers!! If someone can submit the chords to play during the solo, I'd be grateful as I'd like to be able to play it straight through. Thanks in advance
