Warp 11
It's Dead Jim
Transcribed by Matthew Choat [email protected]

Intro: (Down arpeggio open chords and let ring)
D---Bm---G---A--- (x2)

Verse 1:
D---Bm---G---A--- (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---
G+G       A augmentedA
When the words came out
G+G       A augmentedA
Everything was wrong
G+G        A augmentedA
For those who'd boldly go
G+G     A augmentedA
Had already gone
D MajorD         B minorBm        G+G     A augmentedA
'Cause the show was cancelled and the dream was dead
D MajorD      B minorBm    G+G       A augmentedA
And a red alert started wailing in my head
G+G       A augmentedA
And I realized I had written
G+G        A augmentedA
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---
G+G    A augmentedA    G+G      A augmentedA
And now Bones is nothing but bones
G+G     A augmentedA       G+G        A augmentedA
He finally went and took his final voyage home
  D MajorD     B minorBm        G+G     A augmentedA
And Scotty's body just couldn't take much more
D MajorD            B minorBm    G+G      A augmentedA        D MajorD
And I'm sure this is the saddest song ever written about Star Trek
     B minorBm       G+G    A augmentedA
It's the song, it's the saddest song,
D MajorD         B minorBm         G+G    A augmentedA
ever written about star trek it's the saddest song
     D MajorD      B minorBm        G+G    A augmentedA
(About star trek ever written, it's the saddest song) x2

Outro: (back to down arpeggio with open chords)
D MajorD        B minorBm      G+G   A augmentedA
I thought about space and the final frontier
D MajorD      B minorBm    G+G       A(hold)
And I shed a tear as I finished the saddest song--
N.C.           D MajorD (let ring)
ever written about Star Trek
