Em/F# - Em (4x's)

       Em/F#
He was crazy of course

           C
From the first she must have known it

     D                 Bm
But still she went on with him

         G
And she never once had shown it

        Em/F#
And she took him off the street

          C
And she dried his teards of grieving

       D              Bm
She listened to his visions

       G              Em/F#
She believed in his believing


   C
Ah he was the sun burning bright and brittle

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

C
He was a shooting star

Bm
She was softer and more slowly

     A
He could not make things possible

C/B  C                        Em/F#
But she could make them holy, holy.

Em/F# - Em (4x's)

       Em/F#
He was dancing to some music

        C
No one else had ever heard

       D                 Bm
He'd speak in unknown languages

               G
She would translate every word

         Em/F#
And then when the world was laughing

         C 
At his castles in the sky

        D              Bm
She'd hold him in her body

           G                  Em/F#
'Till he once again could fly


   C
Ah he was the sun burning bright and brittle

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

C
He was a shooting star

Bm
She was softer and more slowly

     A
He could not make things possible

C/B  C                        Em/F#
But she could make them holy, holy.


       G
Oh she gave him a daughter

        D
And she gave him a son

           Bm
She was a mother and a wife

       Em
And a lover when the day was done

        G
He was too far gone for giving love

          D
What he offered in its stead

        Bm
Was the knowledge she was the only thing

     Em              C       D
That was not in his head


Em/F# - Em (4x's)

   Em/F#
He took off east one morning

              C 
Towards the rising sun's red glow

     D                 Bm
She knew he was going nowhere

        G
But of course she let him go

           Em/F#
And as she stood and watched him dwindle

          C
Much to empty to be sad

       D        Bm
He reappeared beside her saying

    G                Em/F#
"You're all I've ever had."


   C
Ah he was the sun burning bright and brittle

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

C
He was a shooting star

Bm
She was softer and more slowly

     A
He could not make things possible

C/B  C                        Em/F#
But she could make them holy, holy.
