Paul Gilbert - Atmosphere On The Moon

first two chords : A G
guitar intro : Bm7 E9

Bm7
you know , some times i’m so fed up with things ,
E9
i wanna pack my bags and leave .
Bm7
leave the whole world behind ,
E9
ain’t comin’ back any time soon .
Bm7
but where Am i supposed to go
E9
when there ain’t no air to breathe
Bm7
and no one to talk to
E9
on the moon?

[ chorus ]
C#m7 F#m7
so i’m asking all the children to quit wasting time
Bm7 F#m7 Dm7
with music that’s been so auto – tuned
Dm7 A
and stand on the sholders of galilei
D A D A D
to learn how to fly up and fabricate
A G
an atmosphere on the moon .
[ chorus ]

now you may wonder , you may ask
why is it that i want to steal
all the fun away
from the younger generation .
well , you know i would do it all myself
’cause it sounds like fun to me ,
but i just don’t seem to have
the imagination .

[ chorus ]

D A n/C
( with an atmosphere ) we can have the rain and flowers grow .
D A n/C
( with an atmosphere ) sun on the bright side , dark side and there’s snow .
D A n/C
( with an atmosphere ) so much of land , spreading far and wide .
D A n/C
( with an atmosphere ) we’ll make an ocean , and the earth can bring the tide .
D#
ha ha ha
( continues from here 1/2 step up , in A# )

[ solo ]

so why go through the trouble
when we have everything we need right here .
why not just stop fighting each other
and live in peace .
well we’ve been tryin’ and tryin’ and tryin’
for so many thousands of years .
but nothing seems to work , so i’m gonna live
on a big piece of cheese

[ chorus ]

[ chorus ] up another 1/2 step to B

the coda is the last four bars of the chorus repeated several times .
