Astronaut Chords & Lyrics by Gregory Alan Isakov
Astronaut
guitar chords lyrics
Chords:
It sounds best if you add a base note of G to the C chords and C to the Fmaj7.
Gives a fuller sound.
G chord sounds better if you play as shown (technically a G6add11 or Cmaj9)
Listen to the song for strum pattern - best to give emphasis on base notes.

C/G
I work mornings in the old yard
E7
digging in the ground
Fmaj7
but I moonlight as an astronaut
C/G G
mostly just sit around and howl
C/G
won't you come to my house tonight
E7
we could sleep on the floor
Fmaj7
I got this window that looks out to Orion
C/G G
I paid extra for
Am
oh forget about the sun
Em
he's forgotten us by now
Fmaj7 C/G (quiet strum)
kiss me so I remember how
Am
we'll turn these sorrows into strangers
Fmaj7
buy them a ticket on the train
C/G
drop 'em off at the station
E7
watch 'em ride far away
Fmaj7 Am C/G x3
far away . . .
Fmaj7 C/G G (end on C/G)
far away...
