Pie in the Sky

-Verse 1-

E

It takes photon power

C#

and 8 minutes of an hour

A B

to make it to our sun

E

And I know it sounds weird

C#

but it'll take 4 years

A F#

to make the next one

-Chorus 1-

B G# C# C D

Expanding boarder, that's the sauce of chaos

E C# G

and that's an order...

-Verse 2-

So stomp your feet

and clap your hands

get out of your seat and do a little dance

Now lift your voice

and sing with glee

now listen carefully to me

-Chorus 2-

Desert your quarters, behold the pie in the sky

and that's an order...

Electric guitar w/ distortion for best results.

Play with busy up-beat rhythm.
