[Verse 1]
Am Ammaj9
In the vast celestial dream,
Am7 D/F#
Amidst stars that brightly gleam,
Fmaj7 Em Am
X-raying the sky from the ISS flies NICER.
Am Ammaj9
Its X-ray optics keen,
Am7 D/F#
on its cosmic ride,
Fmaj7 Em Am
Reading secrets of the neutron stars, seeing what's inside.
C/B C D Fmaj7 Am C/B C G D
Am C/B C D Fmaj7 Am C/B C D Fmaj7
[Chorus]
Am7 D Am7 Em7/D D C/D D
Oooooohh, patch it up, restore its sight, Under the watch----ful starlight,
Am7 D Am7
in the dark silent night NICER needs a mending, a task both bold and grand For the
Em7/D D C/D D
mysteries at hand
C G Am C/B C
A patch o'er an optic, our solution seems so slight,
C G Am C/B C
Yet in the cold of space, an extraordinary plight.
C G Am C/B C
From Earth, we launch our ship, to heaven we must climb
C G Am
To patch up NICER and to restore our real good time
C/B C G
Am7 D Am7 Em7/D D C/D D
O-OHMAN, patch it up, let it gaze once more secrets of the stars to explore,
Am7 D Am7
Just a small patch, in this vast celestial map, It's our link to the pulsars and what
Em/D D C/D D
they have in store
C G Am C/B C
Sailing 'cross the starry sea to find out our destiny,
C G Am C/B C
On the ISS, science is our part
C G Am C/B C
A patch, a fix, a remedy in - the silence of the space
C G Fmaj7 Am
The captain's calling you to patch them in
C/B C G
Am7 D Am7 Em7/D D C/D D
O-OHMAN, patch it up, let it gaze once more - secrets of stars to explore,

Am C/G Fmaj7 (4x)
Am C/G Fmaj7
And in the darkness of our night
Am C/G Fmaj7
when the sun is out of sight
Am C/G Fmaj7
There NICER works most gloriously
Am C/G Fmaj7
But when the bright sun lights our way
Am C/G Fmaj7
without a fix, noise in the day
Am C/G Fmaj7
And all our planning goes for naught
Am C/G Fmaj7
but if you observe carefully
Am C/G Fmaj7
some stranger things you still might see
Am C/G Fmaj7
when the fix is in and one is whole
Am C/G Fmaj7
to X-ray pulsars most of all
Am C/G Fmaj7
an instrument unparalleled
Am C/G Fmaj7
with hidden secrets still to tell still to tell
Am C/G Fmaj7 Am C/G Fmaj7 Am C/G Fmaj7
Am C/G Am C/G Am C/G Fmaj7
Am
..... and we're climbing a stairway to fix NICER.
