       E       B       A 
On the 28th of January 1986 
          E                B                     A 
Christa McAuliffe gazed in horror as the O-rings failed 
A 
And she died, and she died, and she died 
        E              B               A 
For the next agonising two minutes and forty five long seconds 
           E                  B      A 
She called out the truth on a broken radio 
A 
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive 



   B                           E                     A 
It came as some surprise to realise that as she lost everything 
    B                                     E                        A 
The world was revealing a transmission so real that she understood everything 
             E            B          A 
You're still alive  

             E            B          A 
You're still alive 



     E                 B            A 
Four thousand nautical miles as the crow flies away 
A               E                      B                A 
A home made ham radio in the loft of a Hampshire family home 
A 
Came alive, came alive, came alive 
           E                  B        A                              E 
And so the 4 year old amateur operator thus became the only person to hear 
               B                A 
Christa's last desperate communique 
A 
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive 



   B                           E                         A 
It came as some surprise to realise what he didn't catch everything 
    B                                     E                       A 
The world was revealing a transmission so real that he understood everything 
             E â?¦.... 
You're still alive 



(E soft) 
And Christa said 
    E                     Am 
The darkness up above 
B                         C#m 
Led me on like unrequited love 
              Am 
While all the things I need 
     B 
Were down here in the deep blue sea 



    E                     Am 
The darkness up above 
B                         C#m 
Led me on like unrequited love 
              Am 
While all the things I need 
     B 
Were down here in the deep blue sea 



    E                     Am 
The darkness up above 
B                         C#m 
Led me on like unrequited love 
              Am 
While all the things I need 
     B 
Were down here in the deep blue sea 



   E Am                                                     
At 4 years old  
  B                     C#m 
I heard the truth on my radio 
   Am                                         E 
So now I keep a moments silence for my silent key 
          E            B             A 
My silent key 
          E            B             A 
My silent key 
          E            B             A 
My silent key 

          E            B             A ......
