Liner Notes

There's probably a sensible in-universe explanation for this (okay, I looked it up but I wrote the song anyway) but it has always amused me that the artificial gravity always seems to work perfectly in sci-fi spaceships. Also every planet has the same gravity and an atmosphere breathable by humans and spaceships always seem to be oriented the same way.

Honestly, I love Star Trek :).

My favourite artificial gravity related one was Picard being stuck in a falling lift with some kids and I was just shouting "turn the gravity off!"

Anyway. It's more #ukulele #nerdfolk with some #synth and som free sound effects from https://pixabay.com/sound-effects/search/space%20battle/

Lyrics

[C][G][C]
[F][G][C]

[C]Carefully con[G]serving our [C]fuel
We're [F]cruising at [G]warp factor [C]five
[C]Heading for [G]systems undis[Am]covered
[F]Worlds on which no human has set [G]eyes

We'll [F]beam a [G]team to the sur[C]face
We [F]believe they'll breath just [E7]fine
[C]Drop them in the [G]middle of the [C]city
With a [F]phaser and [G]minimal sup[C]plies

[F]Meanwhile up in [G]orbit, we are [C]watching on the [Am]screen
[F]Sitting at the [Am]console it is [C]all condition [G]green
[F]Replicators [G]functioning, the [C]oxygen is [Am]good
And [F]artificial [C]gravity is [F]working [G]as it [C]should

Now the a[C]way team might be [G]in a bit of [C]trouble
They're [F]asking us if [G]we can be pre[C]pared
But there's [C]interference [G]jamming our trans[Am]porters
And we're [F]wondering what's going on down [G]there

[F]Something tells me [G]we might not be [C]wanted
There's a [F]fleet of battle cruisers on our [E7]tail
We [C]had a blast a[G]cross the front def[C]lector
And [F]nobody's res[G]ponding to our [C]hails

[F]Now the ship is [G]shaking can we [C]take another [Am]hit
We'd [F]fasten our [Am]seatbelts if we [C]had them on the [G]bridge
Com[F]puter's not res[G]ponding and we [C]know we're in a [Am]fight
But the [F]artificial [C]gravity is [F]perfect[G]ly al[C]right

[A7]

[D][A][D]
[G][A][D]
[D][A][Bm]
[G][A][A7]

We've had a [F#7]hull breach on deck 3[Bm]7
The [F#7]oxygen is slowly leaking [Bm]out
The [G]shields are down the engines losing [Bm]power
Our sur[Gdim7]vival's in considerable [G#dim7]doubt

[Adim7...]

There's [G]redshirts on the [A]surface that we [D]could just leave be[Bm]hind
It's [G]time to turn and [Bm]run but the [D]warp has gone off[A]line
We're [G]running out of [A]options and we're [D]running out of [Bm]time
But the [G]artificial [D]gravity is [G]wor[A]king [D]fine

[G]Consoles are ex[A]ploding, [D]dodge the flying [Bm]sparks
[G]Red alert is [Bm]flashing and the [D]bridge is going [A]dark
But we [G]know which is the [A]ceiling, and [D]which way is the [Bm]floor
The [G]artificial [D]gravity will [G]work for[A]ever [D]more
