Pierce Pettis – Satellite Sky chords

[Verse]
DWhy do I lie awake at night
G                    DThink back as for as I can
       Em                 D/F#To the sound of my father's life outdoors
       G                  AAt the thought of Sputnik in free flight

DBefore I could fashion my poverty
G                       DBefore I distrusted the night
EmMust've known something
D/F#I must've known something
  G                    AI live for those times tonight

[Chorus]
DWhy why why
G      AWhy mama why
D                  GWhy can't I sleep in peace tonight
D            A       BmUnderneath the satellite sky

[Verse]
DIt can't be easy for the children
G                  DI'm hollow before my time
   Em                D/F#It looks like a desert here to me
            G              AWhere's the promise of youth for my child

DWhere are the faraway kingdoms of dreams
G                             DWe've been to the moon, there's trouble at home
Em                      D/F#Vanished in the mist with St Nicholas and
    G             AThe ghettos and war zones

[Chorus]
DWhy why why
G       AOh Why mama why
D                    GWhy can't I sleep in peace tonight
D             A       BmUnderneath the satellite sky

[Chorus]
DOh why why why
G       AOh why mama why
D                    GWhy can't I sleep in peace tonight
D             A       BmUnderneath the satellite sky

[Verse]
DI want to stand out in the middle of the street
    G           DAnd listen to the stars
  Em                     D/F#I want to hear their sweet voices
          G               AI want to feel the big bang rattle my bones

DLaugh with the children
G                 DI want the spark to ignite
Em                    D/F#Before we find out just what it means
G                   ATo be born into these times

[Chorus]
DWhy why why
G       AOh why mama why
D                    GWhy can't I sleep in peace tonight
D             A       BmUnderneath the satellite sky

[Chorus]
DWhy why why
G       AOh why mama why
D                    GWhy can't I sleep in peace tonight
D             A       BmUnderneath the satellite sky
