Biography:
Alan Parsons had dabbled with live performance in his late teens as a folk/blues acoustic player and as a lead guitarist with a blues band in the late sixties. But as soon as he landed a job at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London at the age of 19, it became clear that the world of sound recording was to dominate his career.

So Far Away
Ian Bairnson
[D] - [Dsus] - [D] - [Dsus]
We say [D] welcome to the mission, show us [C] all what you can do
We [Bm] need a man with vision, so we [G] put our trust in you
And [D] now we hope sincerely
That you?ll [C] do the best that you can [D] do [Dsus]
Oh, for [D] sure it won?t be easy and we?ll [C] have to risk our
lives
[Bm] Some will try to break us and [G] cut us down to size
But [D] just remember,
There can be no [C] consulation prize, [D] not in our eyes [Dsus]
It?s a [C] long [G] way to [D] go
We can?t [C] wait [G] one more [D] day
We need [C] some [G] one to [C] light [G] up the [D] way
We may [C] run [G] out of [D] time
Can you [C] hear [G] what we [D] say?
Because [C] hea [G] ven is [C] so [G] far A [D] way [Dsus]
Although [D] time is getting short there?s still some [C] sand left
in the glass
And [Bm] now we have a living, breathing [G] rocket man at last
It?s [D] time to take a step
And nail our [C] colours to the mast [D] - [Dsus]
No more [D] talk of great adventures when it?s [C] movement that we
need
It [Bm] must be our intentions that we [G] never lose the lead
So [D] count us down to zero
And [C] let?s get up to speed, we?re [D] up and away [Dsus]
It?s a [C] long [G] way to [D] go
We can?t [C] wait [G] one more [D] day
We need [C] some [G] one to [C] light [G] up the [D] way
We may [C] run [G] out of [D] time
Can you [C] hear [G] what we [D] say?
Because [C] hea [G] ven is [C] so [G] far A [D] way [Dsus]
[C] - [G] - [D] [C] - [G] - [D] [C] - [G] - [C] - [G] [D] -
[Dsus] -[D] - [Dsus]
And so [D] now they cry for justice, as if [C] justice will be done
But the [Bm] eye up in the sky was flying [G] to close to the sun
The [D] Challenger has fallen and the [C] race has now been run. . .
Enjoy all.
