Intro: (Down arpeggio open chords and let ring)
D---Bm---G---A--- (x2)
Verse 1:
D---Bm---G---A--- (still with arpeggio)
It was a warm summer’s night when I sat down to write
The prettiest song ever written about Star Trek
The sky was clear full of stars above
I thought of Kirk and his crew and their mission of love
And I sang the first verse of the prettiest song ever written about Star Trek
Bridge: (Enter electric guitar with bar chords)
G---A---
[G]When the words [A]came out
[G]Everything was[A] wrong
[G]For those who’d [A]boldly go
[G]Had already[A] gone
[D]‘Cause the show was[Bm] cancelled and the[G] dream was [A]dead
[D]And a red ale[Bm]rt started[G] wailing in my [A]head
[G]And I realized [A]I had written
[G]The saddest song[A] ever written
N.C. D---Bm---G---A---
About Star Trek
D---Bm---G---A---
“Woo-woo-woo”

Verse 2: (back to open chord arpeggio)
D---Bm---G---A---
Now the sky was dark devoid of love
And Roddenberry’s ashes were floating up above
Raining down on a man
Singing the saddest song ever written about Star Trek
Bridge 2: (In electric guitar with bar chords)
G---A---
[G]And now [A]Bones is [G]nothing but [A]bones
[G]He finally[A] went and took [G]his final voyage[A] home
And[D] Scotty’s b[Bm]ody just couldn’t [G]take much [A]more
[D]And I’m sure this is the[Bm] saddest s[G]ong ever wri[A]tten about Star [D]Trek
It’s the [Bm]song, it’s the [G]saddest [A]song,
[D]ever written about [Bm]star trek it’s the [G]saddest s[A]ong
(About sta[D]r trek ever [Bm]written, it’s the[G] saddest [A]song) x2
Outro: (back to down arpeggio with open chords)
[D]I thought about [Bm]space and the[G] final [A]frontier
D Bm G A(hold)
And I shed a tear as I finished the saddest song--
N.C. D (let ring)
ever written about Star Trek
