Third Planet From the Sun

And here we are back to the astronomical song themes again. I woke up a while back with bits and pieces of the chorus rattling around in my brain and with everything that goes on around here, it's taken a bit to assemble the rest of the song. (I also had to convince myself that I wasn't inadvertently copying some other song, but so far I've come up empty. I hope I *continue* to come up empty, having read about the latest Ed Sheeran trial this morning. There are some extremely Melancholy Elephants lumbering around that courtroom. I am amused to note that the chords at the beginning of the verse are yet another variation on the classic G/Em/C/D that are part of that particular dispute -- in this case, G/Em7/CaddD/D. But I digress...)

Anyway, I hope you like it.
