SHOOT THE MOON - Hugh Blumenfeld From "Rocket Science" Capo 2nd Fret (The timing is a little difficult, and the higher strings aren't really heavily sounded the verse Em-D/F#-C vamp. Purchase Hugh's fine recording at to better understand it...) Em D/F# C When I was young all I wanted was the moon Em D/F# C Hung that National Geographic map in my room G Bm In seventh grade, Mythology 101 They called me Little Endymion C - - You remember me now Space was the object of all my country's desire And the skies of my childhood were laced with launching pad fire And I was the boy who stood under streetlamps at night Waiting for those strange blue lights To take me away G D C - Shoot the moon G Set me down in the Sea of Tranquility D Just the stars and me C - Shoot the moon G Give me a home in the 21st century G G/F# Em A little less gravity C I could fall free Em D/F# C Shoot the moon If I'd been ten years older, I might have been tripping on Yasgur's farm But I probably would have been a Phantom flying over Viet Nam In a dream of altitudes where the blue turns black And never looking back At the pieces on the ground Bm Em Emsus2 But I saw the choppers rise out of Saigon's fall Bm Em Emsus2 And my fingers traced the writing on the long black wall Bm F And I knew there'd be no spaceships in my future G D C I guess I was born a little too late, or way too soon... - Shoot the moon.... we could fall free Well, a quarter of a million miles isn't really that far It took me two Chevy's, but I've done it in a car Driving from town to town with this old guitar Made in 1969 One small step for mankind - Shoot the moon.... it is my destiny � 1997 Hugh Blumenfeld/Hydrogen Jukebox Music (ASCAP) Hugh - Vocals, acoustic guitar Mark Dann - electric guitars, bass, drums, vocals Shane Shanahan - percussion
