Verse 1:

Well she slid down the hall in her socks and yelled
Cmaj7 Dm A Cmaj7 G
"Come outside...
Dm A
No no no, nothings wrong
Cmaj7 Dm A Cmaj7 G
I just happen to have a surprise"
Dm Am C G
So we fell through the door like the autumn leaves

And I wrestled my brother down to his knees
Dm Bb F
Just to watch as her rocket 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 C Dm Am C G
Now I work in the city and I blend into the crowd

You could cut the pollution with a butterknife
Dm Am C G
You could wake up at 2 and then party all night
Dm Bb
But I'm missing my momma
F C D Am C G
So I'll stand on the street and get high
Bridge:
F Bb
There's a picture of us

Hidden in a layer of dust

On the mantle

Right by my cigarettes that I smoke
Bb
Since you left
Am Gm
Cause you said you had to fly

In your October Sky

La da di da da da da da da da da

Me and my cousins made a music video to this a VERY long time ago (and by very I mean like 3-4 years which is a long tome when your only 13) and I just starting playing the uke a year ago and I wanted to see if I could learn to play it and I could! I’m going to play it for my cousins that I made the music video with. Thanks!!!
As much as I like the regular version, I really like the minor cover, so when I played I just changed the major notes to their minor counter parts.
This also sounds cool if you do C7 instead of C 🙂
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS AMAZING. THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG
Transposing the song to (-5) is the easiest.
strumming pattern?
anyone have a good strumming pattern?
the second verse goes so hard
I started listening to thid again for the first time in YEARS and boy its it fun
