I - The bassline
[Note: a comma following a note means it is played an octave lower than
the rest; an apostrophe means it is played an octave higher. These have
nothing to do with the rhythm. Transcribing the rhythm in ASCII is beyond
me, but it's not hard to figure out.]
Intro, verse and interlude:
G, G D G
B, B D B
B, F# C# E
B, B D F#
With grace notes (the second time through the intro):
(B,) G, G D G
(G) B, B D B
(B) B, F# C# E
B, B D F#
Chorus
|: B, B D B :| (x6)
B, B G F#
B, B F#
Coda:
B, B G F#
B, B F#
II - The guitar part, or a reasonable rendition
[One chord to a bar; a dash means hold it for another bar; two chords
with a slash between means two beats each.
The chords are fretted in the chorus actually aren't played on the guitar,
as far as I can tell (the lead plays a B throughout).]
1
SOL SIm xxx 12 12 10 xxx 16 15 14
While they were staring at the Citgo sign
FA# SIm xxx 6 7 6 xxx 7 7 7
is where they lost our trail
SOL SIm xxx 12 12 10 xxx 16 15 14
they thought we were part of a caravan
FA# SOL xxx 6 7 6 xxx 7 8 7
but we had other plans
Chorus
SIm -
You can't catch me where I'm gonna fall
- -
you can't catch me where I'll hide
- -
this earth's too cold - this Nova rolls
SOL / FA# SIm
I'm moving to the sun
(Interlude; spaced out organ bits and bassline comes in again)
2
Ninety-three miles and a million more
quite a trip we've planned
I must drive now, carefully
and figure where we'll land
Chorus
You can't catch me where I'm gonna fall
you can't catch me where I'll hide
this earth's too cold so I'm gonna run
I'm moving to the sun
