One More Astronaut in black skin of universe,

One more travelin' man, with heavy tired eyes, feelin' cold

(Riff 2)

-----------9----------

-----7-------7-7--9-

--9----9-------------- x2

----------------------

----------------------

Feelin' cold

Thinkin' around the clock of drinkin' on the job of the, powdered and piss bags,

never havin' sex growin' old. (Riff 2) growin' old.

Headspace, alive and painless, weightless and almost sane I,

close my eyes, I become the sky

Headspace, alone and shameless, can't wait to find the faces,

I left behind in a, troubled time back home.

Verse 2:

It gets so lonely you know, weeks and months alone, chasing sleep and space junk,

and the dying stars I've known and loved (Riff 2) known and loved

Through true decline of the, 5 million minds or so, through mud slides and earthquakes,

the blue one hold and rolls along (Riff 2) rolls along.

Verse 3:

One more astronaut in endless old universe with,

one more second chance at,

wonderin' why he's here at all.

Verse 4:

Bold are the ones who, come over the to fall, over the horizon,

never ones to fade away,

(PLAY CHORDS FOR CHORUS)

And then it hit me, this cosmic pull and energy, it kinda makes me wonder if,

I'll ever make it back home.

I really hope I didn't make this too complicated. It is an

easy song, but I think I might have tabbed it to death. All the parts

should be here. Just look at the times above the staff to figure out

which part is which if you have trouble following. Enjoy.

This song is quite easy to play, and since the tab posted was wrong, I thought I'd post this one. I'm pretty sure of how this is played, since I've seen them live twice.

That's about it,I think. This is a fun improvising song anyways, so feel free to alter this, it'll probably even sound better that way.
