GALILEO (Emily Saliers)
-----------------------
[Each chord is half a measure, except "G7 - G6" is half a measure _total_.]
D Asus G6(9) A7 - A6 D Asus G6(9) A7 - A6
[intro]
D Asus G6(9) A7 - A6
Galileo's head was on the block
D Asus G6(9) A7 - A6
The crime was looking up the truth
D Asus G6(9) A7 - A6
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
Bm F#m(D)/C# G6(9) Asus
I try to trace them to my youth
And then you had to bring up reincarnation
Over a couple of beers the other night
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
Made by another in another lifetime
D Asus G6(9) Asus
How long till my soul gets it right? Can any human
D Asus G6(9) Asus
being ever reach that kind of light? I call on the
Bm F#m(D)/C# E13 E13
resting soul of Galileo
G6(9) Asus D Asus G6(9) Asus
King of night vision, king of insight
Then I think about my fear of motion
Which I never could explain
Some other fool across the ocean years ago
Must have crashed his little airplane
How long till my soul gets it right?
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light?
I call on the resting soul of Galileo
G6(9) Asus D D
King of night vision, king of insight
Bm Bm G/B G/B
I'm not making a joke, you know me
G#dim/B G#dim/B G/B G/B
I take every - thing so seriously
Bm Bm G/B G/B
If we wait for the time till all souls get it right
Asus G6(9) Asus G6(9)
Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation
D Asus G6(9) Asus
in my lifetime; I'm still not right
D Asus G6(9) A7 - A6 D Asus G6(9) A7 - A6
[guitar solo]
D Asus G6(9) A7 - A6 Bm F#m(D)/C# E13 E13
[guitar solo]
G6(9) Asus D Asus G6(9) Asus D Asus G6(9) Asus
[guitar solo]
I offer thanks to those before me
That's all I've got to say
'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime
Now I have to pay
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration
To let the next life off the hook
She'll say, "look what I had to overcome from my last life
I think I'll write a book"
How long till my soul gets it right?
Can any human being ever reach the highest light?
Except for the resting soul... (God rest his soul)
G6(9) Asus D Asus G6(9) Asus
King of night vision, king of insight
D Asus G6(9) Asus
How long till my soul gets it right...
D Asus G6(9) Asus
How long till I meet that highest light...
D Asus G6(9) Asus D.
How long?

*this should probably be called Cmaj7/B, but in the context, it sounds more
like E minor, so I'm calling it "E minor with an added C (and B bass)."
