One Small Star    Eric Bogle

Capo 2nd fret

(C) (C/B) (Am) (C)(C/G)(F) (G) (C) (G)
When I (C)need to (G)feel you (C)near me,
I (C/G)stand (F)in this quiet (C)place,
With the silver (G)light of (C)countless (C/E)stars
(F/C) Falling (F/A)on (F/C)my (G)face. (G/D)(G)
Though (F)they all (G)shine so (C)brightly,
Some(C/G)how it (F)comforts (F/C)me (F)to (G)know
That (C)some who (C/B)burn the (Am)brightest died
(C) An e(F)terni(G)ty a(C)go. (C/G) (C) (C/G)

But your (C)light (C/B)still (Am)shines,
(C) It's (F)one small (G)star to (C)guide me,
And to help (C/B)me (Am)hold back (Am/C)the (G)dark. (G/B) (G) (G/B)(G)
Your (C)light's still (C/G)(F)shining (C)(F)(G)in (G/B)m(G)y(C)heart.
(C/B) (Am)   (C) (C/B) (Am)

I'm learning (C)how to (G)live with(C)out you,
(C/G) And I (F)never thought I (C)could,
And even (G)how to (C)smile a(C/E)gain,
I (F/C)never (F/A)thought (F/C)I (G)would. (G/D)(G)
And to (F)cherish (G)the heart's (C)memories
That (C/G)can (F)bring you (F/C)back (F)to (G)life,
Though (C)some ca(C/B)ress me (Am)gently
And (C)some (F)cut me (G)like a (C)knife. (C/G) (C) (C/G)

But your (C)light (C/B)still (Am)shines,
(C) It's (F)one small (G)star to (C)guide me,
And to help (C/B)me (Am)hold back (Am/C)the (G)dark. (G/B) (G) (G/B)(G)
Your (C)light's still (C/G)(F)shining (C)(F)(G)in (G/B)m(G)y(C)heart.
(C/B) (Am)    - Instrumental verse, no 'tag' -

Can your soul be (G)out there (C)somewhere
Beyond (C/G)the in(F)finity of (C)time?
I guess you've (G)found some (C)answers (C/E)now,
(F/C) I'll have to (F/A)wait (F/C)for (G)mine, (G/D)(G)
Till (F)my light (G)joins with (C)yours one day
(C/G) To (F)shine through (F/C)time (F)and (G)space, (G/B)(G)
And (C)one day (C/B)far in the (Am)distance, play (Am/C)(Am/G)
U(F)pon some (G)stranger's (C)face. (C/G) (C) (C/G)

But your (C)light (C/B)still (Am)shines,
(C) It's (F)one small (G)star to (C)guide me,
And to help (C/B)me (Am)hold back (Am/C)the (G)dark. (G/B) (G) (G/B)(G)
Your (C)light's still (C/G)(F)shining (C)(F)(G)in (G/B)m(G)y(C)heart, (C/B) (Am)
Yes, (G)your (C)light's still (C/G)(F)shining (F/A)(F)(G)in (G/B)my (C)heart.
