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