Standard (EADGBE)

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)

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

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)

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

And I shed a tear as I finished the saddest song--

ever written about Star Trek
