Intro

(open chords no distortion)

D—A—E7----

Verse 1

(same as intro)

Well, space is cold. It’s so fuckin’ lonely

And though I’m bold. I’m pretty fuckin’ homely

I got a heavy load. It’s fuckin’ overwhelming

And I may explode. This motherfucking ship I’m helming

Chorus 1

I had a rough day at work

And my back really hurts

The crew don’t take me seriously they just look at me and smirk

I’ll just go back to my quarters and jerk my Kirk

Verse 2

You pass me in the corridors

You never ever notice me lurking

I’m spending all my time alone

Nobody knows how hard I’m working it

I wanna take a voyage home

‘Cause right now I’m going berserk and

The places where my fantasies roam

Have got my blood burning

Chorus 2

I had a rough day at work

And my back really hurts

I’m gonna quit star fleet and be a motherfuckin’ file clerk

Or just go back to my quarters and jerk my Kirk

Verse 3

(distortion on, switch to bar chords and palm mute)

All by myself in my own private hell my quarters are a dungeon and my mind is a cell

Where I’m locked up tight alone every night losing the battle of a Pon farr fight

And I can’t get control I’m never ever done I can’t let go of my own number one

But I try, God I try! If I could just stop and re-supply

But I know I’m never gonna stop jerking my Kirk ‘til the day I drop

And I know nothing works I’m always gonna have to jerk my Kirk

::Repeat Chorus 2::

Outro

(repeat through end solo)

I’m gonna jerk my Kirk! (he’s gonna jerk his Kirk)

End on slow down-strum of Bsus2
