Dm            Am       
Well she slid down the hall in 
    C 
Her socks and yelled 
 C7M   Dm      A  C7M  G 
"Come outside 
      Dm           D 
No no no, nothings wrong 
       C7M           
I just happen to have 
       Dm    A  C7M  G 
A surprise" 
      Dm               Am    
So we fell through the door 
         C      G 
Like the autumn leaves 
      Dm           A       
And I wrestled my brother 
     C            G 
Down to his knees 
        Dm           A#      
Just to watch as her rocket 
     F 
Shot into the 
C       D   A  C  G 
October Sky 

          F          A 
There's a picture of us 
     F        A 
In a layer of dust 
       F 
On the mantle 
      A        Dm            C 
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke 
          A 
Since you left 
          Am              Gm 
Cause you said you had to fly 

                Dm 
In your October Sky 
      A F        C

        A           C 
As I go back home to Memphis 
  A                 C 
I remember days that I 
      A               C 
I was outside shooting rockets 
          Dm   C  A  F  Gm 
Almost as high 
                Dm A F 
In your October 
        C      Dm  A  F 
In your October 
        C      Dm  A  F 
In your October 
        C      Dm  A  F 
In your October 

      A             
Suddenly, seem like 
      C           Dm 
We've been here before 
  A           F      
I never really cared 
        C      Dm 
Until I met you 
     A               C        Dm 
'Til now I always got by on my own 
  A           F      
I never really cared 
        C      Dm 
Until I met you 
     A    F       
'Til now I always 
    C        Dm  A  F  C 
Got by on my own 
Dm   A    F          C   Dm  A  F 
'Til now I always got by 

        C       Dm 
In your October Sky
