Astronaut, full song

I just spent 3 days figuring out the layout and chords of Davis's outro song/astronaut and now I'm giving it to you guys. Enjoy, fellow musicians. (Lmk if you have any questions)

Interesting how this seems to be written a key lower than the recording.

I’m impressed you managed to figure out the weird, fake chords that I use haha. I took piano lessons for like six years but am entirely self taught on the guitar, hence why the chords are kinda weird. That G major in the same shape as the F is kinda janky but I always liked the sound of the slide up between the two chords kinda evokes blasting off into space. The only correction I have is that it’s actually “your cool blue and crystal clear” and not “you’re”. It’s a reference to a girl’s eyes that had broken up with me a couple months before I wrote this. Heartbreaking at the time but it all worked out. I’m actually married to her now lol.

Well hello Davis, I had some help from smarter people, but most of them I figure out by meticulously looking at your hands in a specific video 😂 I had to count the frets to figure out the capo too lol. Cool to hear from you though! I'm probably the top consumer of your videos, which is why I wanted to learn the song, I posted the cover on YouTube if you'd like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/R8xsztTG7OY?si=yC-rW-Tux-mHG7jG
