Starry Skies

Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

intro

G Bm Em Asus9

Once again, I am alone

G Bm Em Asus9

There's no one to blame for the shape I'm in, this condition that I am

G Bm Em Asus9

The note off the table fell from my hands

G Bm Em Asus9

Like a leaf off a tree, I watched it, I watched it slowly land

G F# Bm7 D/A

There are no starry skies left, not for you and I

Gmaj7(6) Gmaj7(6)/F# Em Asus9

Just the dampness of a cold dark night, and that's all...

G F# Bm7 D/A

Gmaj7(6) Gmaj7(6)/F# Em Asus9

instrumental

G Bm Em Asus9

Memories of wine and roses, photos on an old nightstand

G Bm Em Asus9

The story now is ???????, I thought we'd still be friends

G Bm Em Asus9

Maybe you'll come that day, there'll be a ring on my phone

G Bm Em Asus9

Maybe I'll run the other way, or just pretend I'm not home

G F# Bm7 D/A

There are no starry skies left, not for you and I

Gmaj7(6) Gmaj7(6)/F# Em Asus9

Just the dampness of a cold dark night, and that's all...

G F# Bm7 D/A
