Lyrics

(C)Lone star,

(F)where are

you

out to night?

This (G)feel in’

I’m (E)try in’

to fight.

It’s (G)dark and

I think that

I

would give an (D7)y thing

(F)for you

to (G)shine down on me.

How far

(F)you are,

I

just don’t know

The (G)dis tance

I’m (E)will in’

to go...

I pick up a stone

that I

cast to the (D7)sky,

(F)hop in’

for (G)some

kind of sign.

Lone star,

(F)where are

you

out to night?

This (G)feel in’

I’m (E)try in’

to fight.

It’s dark

and I think that

I

would give an (D7)y thing

(F)for you

to (G)shine down on me,

(F)for you

to (G)shine down on (C)me.
