D-DU-UDU
 (Down arpeggio open chords and let ring)
------------  (x2)
------------  (still with arpeggio)
 It was a warm summer’s night when I sat down to write
 The prettiest song ever written about Star Trek
 The sky was clear full of stars above
 I thought of Kirk and his crew and their mission of love
 And I sang the first verse of the prettiest song ever written about Star Trek
 (Enter electric guitar with bar chords)
G---A---
When  the words came  out
Everything  was  wrong
For  those who’d boldly  go
Had  already  gone
‘Cause  the show was  cancelled and the  dream was dead
And  a red alert  started  wailing in my head
And  I realized I  had written
The  saddest song  ever written
 D---Bm---G---A---
 About Star Trek
 D---Bm---G---A---
 “Woo-woo-woo”
 (back to open chord arpeggio)
 D---Bm---G---A---
 Now the sky was dark devoid of love
 And Roddenberry’s ashes were floating up above
 Raining down on a man
 Singing the saddest song ever written about Star Trek
 (In electric guitar with bar chords)
G---A---
And  now Bones  is nothing  but bones
He  finally  went and took his  final voyage  home
 And  Scotty’s body  just couldn’t take  much more
And  I’m sure this is the  saddest song  ever written  about Star Trek
 It’s the song,  it’s the saddest song,
ever  written about star  trek it’s the saddest  song
 (About star  trek ever written,  it’s the  saddest song)  x2
 (back to down arpeggio with open chords)
I  thought about space  and the  final frontier
And  I shed a  tear as I  finished the saddest  song--
ever  written about Star Trek
