Starship Trooper

[Intro]
E A E A

[Verse 1]
E A                                 E
   Sister bluebird flying high above
E A                                   E
   Shine your wings forward to the sun
E
A                                   E
 Hide the myst'ries of life on your way
D7            C7
Though you've seen them,
D7                 G
please don't say a word
E A
   What you don't know,
             E
I have never heard

[Verse 2]
E A                                  E
   Starship trooper, go sailing on by
E A                                   E
   Catch my soul, catch the very light
E A                                 E
   Hide the moment from my eager eye
D7            C7
Though you've seen there,
D7                  G
please don't tell a soul
E A
   What you can't see,
              E
can't be very whole

C Bm Am Bm

[Chorus]
A
 Speak to me of summer
C                         F
 Long winters longer than time can remember
    A#
The setting up of other roads
   G#                          F
To travel on in old accustomed ways
A                    C
I still remember the talks by the water
    F
The proud sons and daughter
     A#
That knew the knowledge of the land
G#                              F   G
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

[Verse 2]
E A                                 E
   Mother life, hold firmly on to me
E
A                                      E
 Catch my knowledge higher than the day
E A                             E
   Lose as much as only you can show
D7            C7
Though you've seen me,
D7                 G
please don't say a word
E A
   What I don't know,
             E
I have never shared

E                    D
Loneliness is a power that we
       G               A         E  D
Possess to give or take away forever
E                      D
All I know can be shown by your
     G                 A                  E   D G A
Acceptance of the facts there shown before you
E                       D
Take what I say in a different way
           G                  A            E   D
And it's easy to say that this is all confusion
E                 D
As I see a new day in me
        G             A            A     C F A#
I can also show it you and you may follow
