[Ab]
Gary [Bbm] [Ab] Flandreau saw it first in 1964, [Bbm] hidden [Ab] on a printout that he hadn't seen [Db] before.
[Eb] At the lab at [F] Pasadena, [Db] they fed the [Eb] numbers in of [Bbm] a hundred [Ab] possibilities.
This could [Db] be the one.
[Bbm] There was gonna be a [Ab] moment when [Eb] the planets [Ab] [Db] were aligned.
A moment in their [Ab] orbits when they all came to [Db] one side.
[Eb] To travel like [Fm] a slingshot and [Db] use the gravity [Eb] to steer.
[Bbm] Another chance [Ab] won't come again in a full 200 years.
[Eb] He knew [Fm] exactly how [Db] a tale [Ab] should be told.
[Eb] How a story could be [Fm] broken, [Db] how an idea [Eb] could be sold.
[Ab] He says let's send a message [Eb] to whoever finds it [Ab]
first.
[Bbm] To tell them that [Ab] we come in peace, let's [Eb] send the [Bbm] sounds of [Ab] hope.
[Db] [Bbm] [Ab]
[Db] So [Bbm] he made a list [Ab] of all the sounds to sum up who we are.
[Bbm] A mixtape [Ab] of humanity to travel through [Db] the stars.
[Eb] Back at the [Fm] university [Db] he gathered [Eb] up his team.
[Bbm] Linda Frank and John [Ab] and Timothy, last of [Db] all is Anne.
[Bbm] Stravinsky, [Ab] Bach and Mozart in the 50s rock and roll.
[Bbm] The crying [Ab] of a baby in the corner.
[Db] [Eb] Dogs who rain [Fm] a laughter in [Db] the singing [Eb] of the birds.
[Bbm] Images [Ab] and diagrams, [Eb] [Ab] maps of [Db] all the Earth.
[Eb] They say there is a [Ab] kind of spirit [Db] music [Ab] in the world.
[Eb] A place for all [Ab] eternity [Db] is round the sunny [Eb] town.
[Ab] If we could preserve it [Eb] on a record [Fm] made of gold.
It [Bbm] could [Ab] last a billion [Eb] years.
[Bbm] [Ab] And
[Db] [Bbm] [Ab]
[Db] [Bbm] she was [Ab] so diligent and she [Db] was so keen.
[Bbm] And she searched among [Ab] the archives just to find the [Db] missing piece.
[Eb] An outer print [Fm] recording of an [Db] ancient [Fm] [Eb] Chinese [Bbm] lute.
All their hopes [Ab] depending on discovering [Db] this tune.
[Bbm] One night she [Ab] called to tell him that she'd found the flowing [Db] stream.
[Bbm] She called but [Ab] found he wasn't home so played it into [Db] his machine.
[Eb] Says Anne, I've [Fm] found the missing [Db] piece, I think I've [Eb] found our song.
[Bbm] Says Carl, it's [Ab] good to hear your voice.
I've been [Eb] waiting [Db] for so long.
[Eb]
Waiting for [Ab] a moment when the [Db] planets [Ab] would align.
[Eb] Waiting for [Fm] the feeling, [Db] waiting [Ab] for [Eb] a sign.
[Ab] I joked for [Db] hours until the [Eb] sun came glistening on [Fm] the sea.
[Bbm] As the dawn was [Ab] breaking he says, Annie, [Db] mommy.
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Fm] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Bbm] Next morning [Ab] back in New York they connected the [Db] machines.
[Bbm] Attached the [Ab] sensors to her skin to record her [Db] EEG.
[Eb] As soon as they had [Ab] started well [Db] she knew what [Eb] she should do.
[Bbm] The sound of [Ab] someone fully in love.
All the time I [Db] thought of you.
When [Bbm] the voyagers [Ab] were ready to be sent on their [Db] way.
And [Bbm] the golden [Ab] record mounted with a needle to make [Db] it play.
[Eb] They launched them in [Ab] September from [Db] Cape [Ab] Canaveral.
[Bbm]
The furthest [Ab] man-made objects, they're out there [Db] moving still.
[Eb] In our [Fm] solar system [Db] there's a golden [Ab] calling card.
[Eb] Inscribe, please don't [Ab] disturb me, let [Db] me travel [Ab] to [Eb] the stars.
[Cm] If one [Ab] day [Db] someone finds it they will [Eb] hear the sound of [Fm] love.
[Bbm] It could last [Ab] a billion [Eb]
years [Ab] or more.
