Black Stars Chords & Lyrics by Jolie Holland
Black Stars
guitar chords lyrics
C C/G C C/G C
I saw you tonight by the light
F
Of the shining black stars that circle my heart
C C/G C C/G C
I saw you come in, though it was dim
F
I have been listening from the beginning
Bb
When you arrived
It was as if we had both died
F
And gone somewhere else
You and myself
Bb
That otherworldly feeling
Came over me stealing
F
My mind was reeling
Blood bleeding
C C/G C C/G
Red like my guitar
C C/G C C/G
Whoever you are
F
Cold in the night
I think you're right
C C/G C C/G
To whisper and listen
C C/G C C/G
Like flowers glisten
F
In a quiet garden
F C
The moon is wizened and it is old
C/G C C/G C C/G C C/G
As a toad in a Chinese story
G
The fallen glory of my ego
F
Is laid at the feet of all our purposes
C
And my purpose is to keep on dreaming
Bb
I am fishing for wishes
F
That's where you come in
Though it was dim
Bb
When you arrived
It was as if we had both died
F
And gone somewhere else
You and myself
