CAPO III

G A7 C G G C A7

  C              G
I woke up to the sound
        Am               Em
As the missiles hit the ground
      Am            Em                G
And a storm erupted like you've never seen 

    C               G
The sky was burning red
           Am                  Em
From their graves did rise the dead
Am           Em           G
Decomposing, ravenous and green

    G                  A7
But there’s nothing to fear
          C             G
Cause the monoliths are here
G        C        A7
Towering over our heads

    C             G
One thousand foot machines
              Am             Em
Equipped with jets and laser beams
Am             Em      G
Shield us from instant demise

     C           G
They open up the doors
      Am          Em
As we all clamber aboard
Am          Em            G
Leaving our homes and our lives

    G                  A7
And once the ground is clear
       C              G
We let out a grateful cheer
       G         C              A7
As the monoliths propel us into space

                C             G
We thought we’d never see the day
               C          G
When they’d be taking us away
           C          G          D
To see the galaxy and all of the stars
                C           G
Though it would be wrong to say
          C        G
That everything is okay
           C            G               Am
It’s kinda hard to feel bad when you’re far
        Em
So far away

         C                     G
So we’re searching through the galaxy
   Am                 Em
To find a place where we can be
Am             Em            G
Prosperous and happy forever more

C             G
There is no anxiety
Am              Em
In our space society
Am         Em                  G
As long as everyone does their chores

G               A7
Yes because you see
          C             G
We’re all part of the machine
    G              C              A7
The monoliths that hold the human race

                C             G
We thought we’d never see the day
               C          G
When they’d be taking us away
           C          G          D
To see the galaxy and all of the stars
                C           G
Though it would be wrong to say
          C        G
That everything is okay
           C            G               Am
It’s kinda hard to feel bad when you’re far
        Em
So far away
