Capo 2
VERSE 1
D A G Em D
On the 28th of January 1986 Christa McAuliffe
A G
Gazed in horror as the O-rings failed,
Em
And she died, and she died, and she died.
D A G Em
For the next agonising two minutes and forty-five long seconds
D A G
She called out the truth on a broken radio:
Em
"I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive".
CHORUS
A C# D
It came as some surprise to realise that
G
As she lost everything
A C# D
The world was revealed in a transmission so real
G
That she understood everything:
You're still alive.
(INTRO RIFF)
You're still alive.
VERSE 2
D A G
Four thousand nautical miles as the crow flies away
Em D A G
A home-made ham radio in the loft of a Hampshire family home
Em
Came alive, came alive, came alive.
D A G
And so the four year old amateur operator thus became
Em D A G
The only person to hear Christa's last desperate communique:
Em
"We're alive, we're alive, we're alive".
CHORUS
A C# D
It came as some surprise to realise that
G
As she lost everything
A C# D
The world was revealed in a transmission so real
G
That she understood everything:
You're still alive.
OUTRO
D Gm
"The darkness up above
Em7/D D
Led me on like unrequited love,
Bm Bsus4
While all the things I need
A A7
Were down here in the deep blue sea."
D Gm Em7/D D Bm
At four years old I heard the truth on my radio,
Bsus4 A A7
So now I keep a moment's silence for my Silent Key.
