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 summers 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 whod [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 Roddenberrys 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] Scottys b[Bm]ody just couldnt [G]take much [A]more
[D]And Im sure this is the[Bm] saddest s[G]ong ever wri[A]tten about Star [D]Trek
Its the [Bm]song, its the [G]saddest [A]song,
[D]ever written about [Bm]star trek its the [G]saddest s[A]ong
(About sta[D]r trek ever [Bm]written, its 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
