October Sky

         Dm            Am
Well she slid down the hall in
    C
Her socks and yelled
 C7M   Dm     A  C7M  G
"Come outside
      Dm           A
No no no, nothings wrong
       C7M
I just happen to have
       Dm  A  C7M  G
A surprise"
      Dm               Am
So we fell through the door
         C      G
Like the autumn leaves
      Dm           A
And I wrestled my brother
     C            G
Down to his knees
        Dm           Bb
Just to watch as her rocket
     F
Shot into the
C       D   A  C  G
October Sky

          F          Bb
There's a picture of us
     F        Bb
In a layer of dust
       F
On the mantle
      Bb        Dm            C
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke
          Bb
Since you left
          Am              Gm
Cause you said you had to fly

                Dm
In your October Sky
      Bb F        C
La da di da da da di
      Bb    Dm       Am       G
La da di da da da da da da da da

      Dm          Am         C          Dm     Am C G
Now I work in the city and I blend into the crowd
        Dm            Am                C           C7M Dm Am C G
And the people grieve with me since the towers came down
          Dm         Am            C        G
You could cut the pollution with a butterknife
          Dm         Am         C         G
You could wake up at 2 and then party all night
        Dm         Bb
But I'm missing my momma
        F            C              D    Am C G
So I'll stand on the street and get high

          F          Bb
There's a picture of us
     F        Bb
In a layer of dust
       F
On the mantle
      Bb        Dm            C
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke
          Bb
Since you left
          Am              Gm
Cause you said you had to fly

                Dm
In your October Sky
      Bb F        C
La da di da da da di
      Bb    Dm       Am       G
La da di da da da da da da da da

       Bb           C
As I go back home to Memphis
  Bb                 C
I remember days that I
      Bb               C
I was outside shooting rockets

          Dm   C  Bb  F  Gm
Almost as high
                Dm Bb F
In your October
        C       Dm  Bb  F
In your October

Dm    Bb  F
Suddenly, seem like
      C           Dm
We've been here before
  Bb           F
I never really cared
        C      Dm
Until I met you
     Bb    F          C        Dm
'Til now I always got by on my own
  Bb           F
I never really cared
        C      Dm
Until I met you
     Bb    F
'Til now I always
    C        Dm  Bb  F  C Dm
Got by on my own
     Bb    F          C  Dm  Bb  F
'Til now I always got by

        C       Dm
In your October Sky
       Bb F       C

       Bb      Dm       Am       G
