Liner Notes

I learned that five of Saturn's moons are called "Shepherd Moons" because they look after the ring system, and without them the rings would be scattered all over. Sometimes they're called the "Guardians of the Rings". How can you not write a song when you learn such a thing?

There's a #ukulele or two, and, because it's in space, that means by law there has to be #synth as well. Still #nerdfolk though.

Maybe I'll work out what the tune is eventually, but I think it's roughly the same in each verse and chorus here :).

Lyrics

[Em][D]
[C][Em][D]

[G]Keeping an eye as they [Em]circle the [D]skies
To [G]Janus' delight there's a [Em]red sky ton[D]ight
[C]Keeping them safe from the [Em]wolves
By their [C]gravitational [D]pull

For their [Em]god and their [G]king
They're the [C]guardians of the [D]rings

[B7]Titan's [Em]rocks
[B7]Tend to their [Em]flocks
[C]Herding from with[Em]in
The [C]guardians [D]of the [Em]rings

[Em][D]
[C][Em][D]

[G]Doing their rounds, [Em]wandering [D]proud
[G]Steering the crowd, [Em]inside and [D]out
By [C]Prometheus' [Em]hook
And [C]Epimetheus' [D]crook

For their [Em]god and their [G]king
They're the [C]guardians of the [D]rings

Under [Bm]Daphnis' careful [C]gaze
The [Em]sheep may safely [D]graze
[Bm]Pan will call the [C]tune
As they [Em]dance across the [D]moon
