  Shooting Star

  Harry Chapin    (klr)

  

  [Em] He was crazy, of course

  >From the [C] first she must have known it

  But [D] still she went on [Bm] with him

  And she [G] never once had [Em] shown it

  And she took him off the street

  And she [C] dried his tears of grieving

  She [D] listened to his [Bm] visions

  She be [G] lieved in his be [Em] lieving

  

  [C] He was the sun burning bright and brittle

  And [D] she was the moon shining back his light a little

  [C] He was a shooting star

  [Bm] She was softer and more slowly

  He [A] could not make things possible

  But [C] she could make them holy, Holy [Em]

  

  [Em] He was dancing to some music

  No one [C] else had ever heard 

  He'd [D] speak in unknown [Bm] languages

  And she would [G] translate every [Em] word

  And when the world was laughing

  At his [C] castles in the sky

  She'd [D] hold him in her [Bm] body

  Until he [G] once again could [Em] fly

  

  [C] He was the sun burning bright and brittle

  And [D] she was the moon shining back his light a little

  [C] He was a shooting star

  [Bm] She was softer and more slowly

  He [A] could not make things possible

  But [C] she could make them holy, Holy [Em]

  

  She [G] gave him a daughter and she [D] gave him a son

  She was a [Bm] mother and a wife 

  And a [Em] lover when the day was done

  He was to [G] far gone for giving love 

  What he [D] offered in its stead 

  Was the [Bm] knowledge she was the only thing 

  That [Em] was not in his [G] head  [D] - [Em]

  

  [Em] He took off east one morning

  Towards the [C] rising sun's red glow

  She [D] knew he was going [Bm] nowhere

  But of [G] course she let him [Em] go

  And as she stood and watched him dwindle

  Much too [C] empty to be sad

  He [D] reappeared be [Bm] side her

  Saying "You're [G] all I've ever [Em] had"

  

  [C] He was the sun burning bright and brittle

  And [D] she was the moon shining back his light a little

  [C] He was a shooting star

  [Bm] She was softer and more slowly

  He [A] could not make things possible

  But [C] she could make them holy, Holy [Em]
