(F)There,

with fall en from (F)grace.

Stars be my (Dm)wit ness.

nels,

I nev er shall (Bb)yield

till we come face to (C7)face,

till we come face to (Dm)face.

He knows his way in the (Gm)dark,

but (C)mine is the way of the (Am)Lord.

And those who fol low the (Gm)path of the right eous shall have their ways re (F)ward.

And if they (Bbm)fall as Lu ci fer (Eb7)fell,

the (Ab)flame,

the (C)sword!

(F)Stars,

in your mul (Dm)ti tudes,

a scarce to be (Bb)count ed,

with or der and (F)light.

You are the (Dm)sen ti nels,

I si lent and (Bb)sure,

keep ing watch in the (C7)night,

keep ing watch in the (Dm)night.

You know your place in the (Gm)skies.

but (C)You hold your course and your (Am)aim.

And each in your sea son (Gm)re turns and re turns and is al ways the (F)same.

And if you (Bbm)fall as Lu ci fer (Eb7)fell,

you (Ab)fall

in (C)sword!

(C)flame!

And so it has (F)been and so it is (C)writ ten on the (Cm)door way to (Bb)Par a dise, that those who (Bbm)fal ter and those who (F)fall

I will (Dm)nev er rest

’til then.

This I (C)swear!

This I swear by the (F)stars!

This page shows “Stars” by Claude-Michel Schonberg in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play.
