Tuning: Standard

The first single to their 2004 album Astronaut, as played on guitar.


The verses pretty much revolve around certain fingerings for the C bar chord. This is repeated
a few times in each the verses, and it should come easily after listening to the song.

Chorus:
Four chords, two strokes each. Pretty simple. Andy Taylor usually does the F chord with only
the last five strings, but I see no problem with using the sixth string anyway.

Guitar Solo:
My best attempt at the solo towards the end of the song.

Hit D a good amount of times, and then hit F once quickly while finishing up the final chorus
in the song.

*C Chord Fingerings*
Now the time is come, the music between us
Though the night seems you - is at an end
Only change will bring you out of the darkness
In this moment everything is born again

G                      D
Reach up for the sunrise
F                      D
Put your hands into the big sky
G                      D
You can touch the sunrise
F                      D
Feel the new day enter your life

*C Chord Fingerings*
Now the fireball burns, we go round together
As the planet turns into the light
Something more than dreams to watch out for each other?
Coz we know what it means to be alive

G                      D
Reach up for the sunrise
F                      D
Put your hands into the big sky
G                      D
You can touch the sunrise
F                      D
Feel the new day enter your life

(guitar solo)

G                      D
Reach up for the sunrise
F                      D
Put your hands into the big sky
G                      D
You can touch the sunrise
F                      D
Feel the new day enter your life
