These chords are basically the cheater version of this song. Capo it to the key
you prefer to sing in (or transpose it) as it is NOT in the same key that IGirls
do it in. That being said, played correctly, this version can be used to great
success in front of most any crowd of bar patrons.
INTRO: C G F G7 - C G F G7
C G F G7 C G F G7
Galileo's head was on the block, crime was looking up the truth
C G F G
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
Am Em F G7
I try to trace them to my youth
C G F G C G
And then you had to bring up reincarnation over a couple of beers
F G7
the other night
C G F G Am Em F G
Now I'm serving time for mistakes made by another in another lifetime
CHORUS:
C G F G
How long till my soul gets it right? Can any Human
C G F G
Being ever reach that kind of light? I call on the
Am Em D F G C
Resting soul of Galileo, king of night vision, king of insight
F G
C G F G7 C G F G7
Then I think about my fear of motion of which I never could explain

Some other fool across the ocean years ago must have crashed his little

To let the next life off the hook

Am Em F G
I think I'll write a book"
