Intro (x2): C G F G7 C G F G7 C G F G7 Galileo's head was on the block, crime was looking up the truth C G F G And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode Am Em F G7 I try to trace them to my youth C G F G C G And then you had to bring up reincarnation over a couple of beers F G7 the other night C G F G Am Em F G Now I'm serving time for mistakes made by another in another lifetime Chorus: C G F G How long till my soul gets it right? Can any Human C G F G Being ever reach that kind of light? I call on the Am Em D F G C Resting soul of Galileo, king of night vision, king of insight Interlude: F G C G F G7 C G F G7 Then I think about my fear of motion of which I never could explain C G F G Am Em Some other fool across the ocean years ago must have crashed his little F G airplane Chorus: C G F G How long till my soul gets it right? Can any Human C G F G Being ever reach that kind of light? I call on the Am Em D F G C Resting soul of Galileo, king of night vision, king of insight Bridge: Am F I'm not making a joke, you know me Am F I take everything so seriously Am F If we wait for the time till all souls get it right G F G F Than at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation C G F G in my lifetime - I'm still not right Solo: C G F G7 Am Em D - D F G C C G F G7 C G F G7 I offer thanks to those before me. That's all I've got to say C G F G Am Em F G Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime. Now I have to pay C G F G7 But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration C G F G7 To let the next life off the hook C G F G She'll say, "look what I had to overcome from my last life Am Em F G I think I'll write a book" Chorus: C G F G How long till my soul gets it right? Can any Human C G F G Being ever reach the highest light? Except for the Am Em D F G C G F G Resting soul - Galileo, king of night vision, king of insight C G F G How long till my soul gets it right C G F G How long till I meet that highest light...

How to play Galileo on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. The groove sits around 118 bpm, a medium pace. On this page the song is in C major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the rookie level. Drive even eighths through the verses and open into fuller strums on the chorus.
