[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Bm][Am][C][Bm][Am]
[C][Bm][Bb][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
I hope you don't mind if [G]I send
you a thought
You're still the spe[C]cial per[Bm]son for [Am]me
[G]I know I should reserve
that feeling for her
But I [C]have fallen down [Em]a well [Am]of longing

[Verse 2]
[C]I'm in a valley deep in[Bm]side the [Em]earth
[Am]I'm in a rich vein of lear[Asus4]ning[Am][G]
[C]I'm stuck still in the dep[Bm]th of the mud[Em]
Just [F]God and tree and star
for the [C]jour[Am]ney

[Verse 3]
[G]So listen friend you've
got my love and respect
Do you be[C]lieve in [Bm]the life [Am]eternal?
[G]I've got a feeling we'll
be talking tonight
Because [C]I knew you when we
[Em]were [Am]so little

[Verse 4]
[C]
I knew you when I [Bm]was a queer [Em]fish
[Am]You were the one they all
[Asus4]wanted[Am][Em]
[C]I showered you wit[G]h my
[Bm]light from [Em]afar
Now [F]everyone is following you
[C]You're the evening sta[G]r
[Em]

[Verse 5]
So many forces are pushing
[A]How do you stay [Em]so c[A]alm?[Bm][Em]
If I could master an hour of your [C]peace
Maybe [Bm]I wo[Bb]uld know how to le[Am]t

[Interlude 1]

[Cm][Am]
[C][Bm][Bb][Am]

[Verse 6]
[G]I messed up on the practical side
I can't be[C]lieve all
[Bm]the trouble [Am]it caused me
[G]I tried to make up on the spiritual side
My web of [C]prayers and
ad[Em]vice im[Am]plore you

[Verse 7]
[C]To live happy in the be [Bm]st way you can[Em]
[Am]To live with or without me[A][G][C]
And if I feel like [G]I am w[Bm]asting my t[Em]ime
I'll [F]write another letter to sing
[C]To the evening sta[G]r
Evening [Am]star
I'll write another letter to her
[G]Evening sta[Am]r
I'll write another letter to her
[G]Evening sta[Am]r
An[C]other [Am]letter[Cm][Am]
[C]to [Bm]her[Bb][Am][G]
