Dm Am
Well she slid down the hall in
C
Her socks and yelled
C7M Dm A C7M G
"Come outside
Dm A
No no no, nothings wrong
C7M
I just happen to have
Dm A C7M G
A surprise"
Dm Am
So we fell through the door
C G
Like the autumn leaves
Dm A
And I wrestled my brother
C G
Down to his knees
Dm Bb
Just to watch as her rocket
F
Shot into the
C D A C G
October Sky
F Bb
There's a picture of us
F Bb
In a layer of dust
F
On the mantle
Bb Dm C
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke
Bb
Since you left
Am Gm
Cause you said you had to fly
Dm
In your October Sky
Bb F C
La da di da da da di
Bb Dm Am G
La da di da da da da da da da da
Dm Am C Dm Am C G
Now I work in the city and I blend into the crowd
Dm Am C C7M Dm Am C G
And the people grieve with me since the towers came down
Dm Am C G
You could cut the pollution with a butterknife
Dm Am C G
You could wake up at 2 and then party all night
Dm Bb
But I'm missing my momma
F C D Am C G
So I'll stand on the street and get high
F Bb
There's a picture of us
F Bb
In a layer of dust
F
On the mantle
Bb Dm C
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke
Bb
Since you left
Am Gm
Cause you said you had to fly
Dm
In your October Sky
Bb F C
La da di da da da di
Bb Dm Am G
La da di da da da da da da da da
Bb C
As I go back home to Memphis
Bb C
I remember days that I
Bb C
I was outside shooting rockets
Dm C Bb F Gm
Almost as high
Dm Bb F
In your October
C Dm Bb F
In your October
Dm Bb F
Suddenly, seem like
C Dm
We've been here before
Bb F
I never really cared
C Dm
Until I met you
Bb F C Dm
'Til now I always got by on my own
Bb F
I never really cared
C Dm
Until I met you
Bb F
'Til now I always
C Dm Bb F C Dm
Got by on my own
Bb F C Dm Bb F
'Til now I always got by
C Dm
In your October Sky
