Astronaut

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
i work mornings in the old yard

E7
digging in the ground

Fmaj7
but i moonlight as an astronaut

C/G G
mostly just sit around and howl

C/G
won’t you come to my house tonight

E7
we could sleep on the floor

Fmaj7
i got this window that looks out to orion

C/G G
i paid extra for

Am
oh forget about the sun

Em
he’s forgotten us by now

Fmaj7 C/G ( quiet strum )
kiss me so i remember how

Am
we’ll turn these sorrows into strangers

Fmaj7
buy them a ticket on the train

C/G
drop ’em off at the station

E7
watch ’em ride far away

Fmaj7 Am C/G x3
far away . . .

Fmaj7 C/G G ( end on C/G )
far away . . .
