Rush - Cygnus X-1 (Book One - The Voyage): chords

   A               C
Invisible to telescopic eye
   A                     C
Infinity, the star that would not die

All who dare to cross her course
Are swallowed by a fearsome force

   D         Bm       C      F#
Through the void, to be destroyed
D            Bm        A
Or is there something more?
Atomized - at the core
Or through the astral door
G
To soar.

   C                F
I set a course just east of Lyra
    D             G
And northwest of Pegasus
Flew into the light of Deneb
Sailed across the Milky Way
On my ship, the 'Rocinante'
Wheeling through the galaxies
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Headlong into mystery

Cm
The x-ray is her siren song
    G#
My ship cannot resist her long
F
Nearer to my deadly goal
G
Until the black hole
          Cm
Gains control

 C#m        Em
Spinning, whirling
 G#m      Gm
Still descending
 C#m    Em    Cm
Like a spiral sea, unending

Sound and fury
Drowns my heart
Every nerve is torn apart.
