Transcribed by Matthew Choat moc0007@gmail.com

Intro: (Down arpeggio open chords and let ring)
D---Bm---G---A--- (x2)

Verse 1: 
D---Bm---G---A--- (still with arpeggio)
It was a warm summer’s night when I sat down to write
The prettiest song ever written about Star Trek
The sky was clear full of stars above
I thought of Kirk and his crew and their mission of love
And I sang the first verse of the prettiest song ever written about Star Trek

Bridge: (Enter electric guitar with bar chords)
G---A---
G              A
When the words came out
G             A
Everything was wrong
G               A
For those who’d boldly go
G          A
Had already gone
D                  Bm                G          A
‘Cause the show was cancelled and the dream was dead
D            Bm        G              A
And a red alert started wailing in my head
G              A
And I realized I had written
G               A
The saddest song ever written
N.C.       D---Bm---G---A---
About Star Trek
D---Bm---G---A---
“Woo-woo-woo”

Verse 2: (back to open chord arpeggio)
D---Bm---G---A---
Now the sky was dark devoid of love
And Roddenberry’s ashes were floating up above 
Raining down on a man
Singing the saddest song ever written about Star Trek

Bridge 2: (In electric guitar with bar chords)
G---A---
G       A        G           A             
And now Bones is nothing but bones
G         A              G               A
He finally went and took his final voyage home
   D          Bm                G         A
And Scotty’s body just couldn’t take much more
D                       Bm        G           A               D
And I’m sure this is the saddest song ever written about Star Trek
         Bm             G       A               
It’s the song, it’s the saddest song, 
D                  Bm                 G        A
ever written about star trek it’s the saddest song
          D           Bm               G        A
(About star trek ever written, it’s the saddest song) x2

Outro: (back to down arpeggio with open chords)
D               Bm           G      A
I thought about space and the final frontier
D           Bm        G              A(hold)
And I shed a tear as I finished the saddest song-- 
N.C.                     D (let ring)
ever written about Star Trek
