#
#I've been trying to work out this song, which sounds great
#with the female vocalist in our band. It is rather
#straightforward, the original is played in the key of Fm or
#(as indicated in brackets) Em when capoed at the first fret.
#
#The /slashes indicate the beat, the bass basically follows
#the chord progressions.
#
#chords used: capo I:
#Fm 133111 (022000)
#Bb9 x13311 (x02200)
#Cm x35543 (224432)
#C9 x35533 (224422)
#Dbmaj7 x43111 (x32000)
#Eb9 xx1341 (xx0230)

"Sleeping Satellite" - Tasmin Archer
song written by Tasmin Archer, John Beck and John Hughes
(capo I, tempo 4/4)
refrain:
/Fm /Bb9
I blame you for the moonlit sky
/Cm /C9
and the dream that died, with the Eagle's flight
/Fm /Bb9
I blame you for the moonlit nights
/Cm /C9
when I wonder why, are the seas still dry
/Dbmaj7 /Eb9 /Eb9
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
/Fm /Bb9
Did we fly to the moon too soon, did we spoil another chance
/Dbmaj7
In the rush of the race, the reason we chase
/Eb9
is a lost in romance
/Fm /Bb9
And still we try
/Dbmaj7
To justify the waste for a taste
/Eb9
Some man's greatest adventure, oh
refrain
Have we lost what it takes to advance, have we been too soon
If the world is a dream, then why does it scream
under a blue moon
We wonder why
if the earth is sacrificed for a price
of it's greatest treasure, oh
refrain
break: /Fm /Fm /Gm /Ab
/Fm /Fm /Gm /Ab Gm
And when we shoot for the stars, what a giant step
Have we got what it takes, to carry the weight
of it's consense
Or pass it by
Like a shot in the dark, with some mark
with a sense of adventure, oh
refrain
