Lyrics

By David Van Sise Capo 3rd fret
Verse One:
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
I remember back...................... to 1969
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
There seemed a glimmer, of hope for mankind,
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
The World was Changing, After figh---ting all those wars,
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
But I could see, We were reachin' for the stars

Verse Two:
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
When I was young, .................. I dreamt that I could fly,
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
To the moon and back Again And never Bat an eye,
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
Reaching out to the stars,...............Always Flying High,
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
( My Armstrong) enough, To streak up through the sky

(Chorus)
(G) (D) (Am7th) (G) (D) (Am7th)
I wanna be,............on the Sea, The Sea of Tranquility,
(G) (D) (Am7th) (G) (D) (Am7th)
Fly and be free,....So I can see, The Sea of Tranquility,
(Bm) (Am)
So Take it from me,.........Please believe,
(Bm) (Am)
The next trip I take, I'm gonna leave,....(For)
(Pause)
(G) (D) (Am7th)
....The Sea of Tranquility,


Verse Three:
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
Now I'm a man, and I live within my means,
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
And I wear "T" shirts, and worn out Levi jeans,
(Em) (C) (G) (D)
But I still look up, when the Moon comes out so bright,
(Em) (C) (G) (D) (D) (D) (D) (D)
I close my eyes, and Imagine I'm in fli-i-i-i-i-ight,

(Chorus)

(Lead)

(Chorus)
(END)
