The Saddest Song Ever Written About Star Trek
Warp 11
It’s Dead Jim
Intro: (Down arpeggio open chords and let ring)
------------ (x2)
Verse 1:
------------ (still with arpeggio)
It was a warm summer’s night when I sat down to write
The prettiest song ever written about Star Trek
The sky was clear full of stars above
I thought of Kirk and his crew and their mission of love
And I sang the first verse of the prettiest song ever written about Star Trek
Bridge: (Enter electric guitar with bar chords)
G---A---
When the words came out
Everything was wrong
For those who’d boldly go
Had already gone
‘Cause the show was cancelled and the dream was dead
And a red alert started wailing in my head
And I realized I had written
The saddest song ever written
N.C. D---Bm---G---A---
About Star Trek
D---Bm---G---A---
“Woo-woo-woo”
Verse 2: (back to open chord arpeggio)
D---Bm---G---A---
Now the sky was dark devoid of love
And Roddenberry’s ashes were floating up above
Raining down on a man
Singing the saddest song ever written about Star Trek
Bridge 2: (In electric guitar with bar chords)
G---A---
And now Bones is nothing but bones
He finally went and took his final voyage home
And Scotty’s body just couldn’t take much more
And I’m sure this is the saddest song ever written about Star Trek
It’s the song, it’s the saddest song,
ever written about star trek it’s the saddest song
(About star trek ever written, it’s the saddest song) x2
Outro: (back to down arpeggio with open chords)
I thought about space and the final frontier
(hold)
And I shed a tear as I finished the saddest song--
N.C. D (let ring)
ever written about Star Trek
