Shooting Star Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
He was [Am]crazy of course
From the first [F]she must have known it
But [G]still she went on with [Em]him
And she [C]never once had shown it
And she [Am]took him off the streets
And she [F]dried his tears of grieving
She [G]listened to his [Em]vis ions
She be[C]lieved in his believin'
[Am]

[Verse 2]
Ah, [F]he was the sun burning
bright and brittle
An[G]d she was the moon shining
back his light [F]a little
He was a shooting star
[Em]She was softer and more slowly
He [D]could not make things possible
[F]But, she could make them holy, [Am]holy
He was dancin' to some music
No one [F]else had ever heard
He'd [G]speak in unknown lan[Em]guages
She'd [C]translate every word
And [Am]when the world was laughing
At his [F]castles in the sky
She'd [G]hold him in [Em]her body
And he [C]once again would fly
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Ah, [F]he was the sun burning
bright and brittle
An[G]d she was the moon shining
back his light a [F]little
He was a shooting star
[Em]She was softer and more slowly
He [D]could not make things possible
[F]But, she could make them holy, [Am]holy

[Verse 4]
[Am]
But she [C]gave him a daughter
And she [G]gave him a son
She was [Em]a mother, and a wife
And [Am]a lover when the day was done
Well, he was [C]too far gone for giving love
What he'd [G]offer in its stead
Was the know[Em]ledge she
was the only thing
That [Am]was not in his head

[Interlude 1]
[F][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
He [Am]took off East one morning
In the [F]rising sun's red glow
She [G]knew he was going [Em]nowhere
But of [C]course she let him go
[Am]As she stood and watched him dwindle
Much too [F]empty to be sad
He re[G]appeared be[Em]side
her and said
"You're [C]all I've ever [Am]had"
Ah, [F]he was the sun burning
bright and brittle
[G]And she was the moon shining
back his light a [F]little
He was a shooting star
[Em]She was softer and more slowly
He [D]could not make things possible
[F]But, she could make them holy
[G]Ah, [F]he was the sun burning
bright and brittle
An[G]d she was the moon shining
back his light [F]a little
He was a shooting star
[Em]She was softer and more slowly
He [D]could not make things possible
[F]But, she could make them holy

[Outro 1]
Holy
[Am]
