Capo 1 fret

no chords
Through clear skies tracking lightly from far down the line
                               A
No fanfare, just a blip on the screen
Em D           G      C            A      D       C
No quick conclusions now --- everything will be fine
  Em    D     G              C          A
Short-circuit glitsch and not what it seems

Em      D   Em                       D     G   D
Fylingdale Flyer --- you're only half way there
G       D       Em                               D          A(sus4) A
Green screen liar --- for a second or so we were running scared

Em D           G      C            A      D       C
On late shift, feeling drowsy eyes glued to the display
Em    D     G       C               A
Dead cert alert, lit match to the straw
Em D           G          C            A      D       C
One last quick game of bowls --- we can still win the day
Em    D       G       C               A
Fail-safe; forget the things that you saw

Em      D   Em                       D     G   D
Fylingdale Flyer --- you're only half way there
G       D       Em                               D          A(sus4) A
Green screen liar --- for a second or so we were running scared
 

same
They checked the systems through and they read A-o.k.
Some tiny fuse has probably blown
Sit back; relax and soon it will just go away
Keep your hands off that red telephone
