Taking one last shot at heaven while they slip stream through paradise Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight I'm looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight I've got a blue telescope Blue telescope E|E|---------|| Chords used: C-x3201x, Csus4-x3301, Csus2-x3001x, G-320033, G/B-x20033, Am-x02210, Em-022000 NB This becomes much easier to sing (for my voice anyway), if you play it in Bb - the riff thingy works in G too, so you can play it in G with a capo on the third fret. No I won't transpose all the chords for you, you lazy swine... Enjoy!
