(Play only bar chords)

Verse 01:
D (let ring)         (Pick Slide up)
First they took my TOS
B             (Pick Slide down)
Then they took my TNG
E                (Pick Slide up)
Said “bon voyage” to Voyager
A                             A-B-C#-D
Now there’s nothing left for me

(start strumming with finger mute)

D
Decommissioned DS9
B
Now there’s no more Enterprise
E
Erased the animated show
A
Yeah, she met a quick demise

Chorus:
A            B     D             B
The final frontier has been finalized
                       E
There ain’t no coming back
                  A
It’s getting no reprise
                   D
It boldly came and went
                   B
Got no Trek to represent
                   E
I never thought the day
                         A
Would come that I had to say
          D    Riff1
It’s dead Jim

Verse 2: (same chords as v1 but with full palm mute)

Space is cold and so am I
Just like Kirk my show has died
Everything has gone awry
I guess it’s time to say goodbye         (back to finger mute)
‘Cause Scotty’s gone and so is Bones
They took their final voyage home
And I guess I’ve always known
That someday I’d be alone

(repeat chorus and riff1 x2)

Bridge:
D
Tore down the sets today
B
Gave the plastic ears away
E
Sold the props on eBay
A
Left my life in disarray

Solo: (coming soon)


(Repeat chorus and riff1 x2)

Outro:

D                   B                    E             A
It’s dead Jim, It’s dead jim, it’s dead jim, it’s dead jim
N.C.                      D (let ring)
Until they bring it back again
