[Verse 1]
         Dm            Am
Well she slid down the hall
       C
in her socks and yelled
 Cmaj7   Dm      A Cmaj7 G
"Come outside...
      Dm           D
No no no, nothings wrong
       Cmaj7
I just happen to have
       Dm    A Cmaj7 G
a surprise"
      Dm               Am
So we fell through the door
         C      G
like the autumn leaves
      Dm           A
And I wrestled my brother
     C            G
down to his knees
        Dm           Bb
Just to watch as her rocket
     F
shot into the
C       D   A C G
October Sky

[Bridge]
          F          Bb
There's a picture of us
     F        Bb
In a layer of dust
       F
On the mantle
      Bb        Dm            C
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke
          Bb
Since you left
          Am              Gm
Cause you said you had to fly

[Chorus]
                Dm
In your October Sky
     Bb F        C   Bb Dm Am G
Lada di da da da di

[Verse 2]
      Dm          Am
Now I work in the city and
  C          Dm     Am C G
I blend into the crowd
        Dm            Am
And the people grieve with me
          C           Cmaj7 Dm Am C G
since the towers came down
          Dm         Am
You could cut the pollution
       C        G
with a butterknife
          Dm         Am
You could wake up at 2 and
     C         G
then party all night
        Dm         Bb
But I'm missing my momma
        F            C
So I'll stand on the street
        D    Am C G
and get high

[Verse 3]
        Bb           C
As I go back home to Memphis
  Bb                 C
I remember days that I
      Bb               C
I was outside shooting rockets
          Dm   C Bb F Gm
Almost as high
                Dm Bb F
In your October...
