[Intro 1]
[F][C][F][C]
[F][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
I have [F]made a little
music in some [C]corners of the land
[Am]I have fused some crystal images
from [G]common grains of sand
If I [F]haven't reached the heavens,
I've [Em]surely learned to fly
I've been [Am]caught up in the soaring
and the [G]touching of the sky

[Verse 2]
But the [C]star [Em]tripper's coming
on back [F]home now
It's a [Em]crazy blind man's [Am]journey,
he's been [G]on
[F]The sta[C]r tripper's [Em]lost
and all [F]alone now
And it's [Am]your face he'd [G]like to look [F]upon
Yes, [Am]he's praying that [G]you won't
be long gone
[C][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]
They [F]put you in a capsule,
[C]they send you towards the sun
[Am]They carve you into plastic be
[G]fore your orbit's done
And [F]all the scribes and seers they
[Em]chorus out your name
Though the [Am]photographs and headlines change,
the [G]story stays the same

[Verse 4]
So the [C]star [Em]tripper's coming
on back [F]home now
It's a [Em]crazy blind man's [Am]journey,
he's been [G]on
The [C]star [Em]tripper's lost
and all [F]alone now
And it's [Am]your face he'd [G]like to look [F]upon
Yes, [Am]he's praying that [G]you won't
be [C]long gone

[Verse 5]
[F]I thought that I [Ab]was soaring like [Am]an eagle[A]
[Am]I thou[F]ght that I was roari[Ab]ng
like [Am]the wind
[F]I thought that I had [Ab]surely
reached the [Am]en d now
[G]But I can't remember
[F]anywhere I've [G]been

[Verse 6]
Was I [F]looking for a star or [C]something
else behind it?
[Am]Whatever I was looking for,
[G]I surely did not find it
And for [F]all my sky high journeys
the [Em]only thing I know
Is that you [Am]almost always lose yourself
when [G]you let yourself go

[Verse 7]
So the [C]star [Em]tripper's coming
on back [F]home now
It's a [Em]crazy blind man's [Am]journey,
he's been [G]on
The [C]star [Em]tripper's lost and all [F]alone now
And it's [Am]your face he'd
[G]like to [F]look upon
Yes, [Am]he's praying that [G]you
won't be [Ab]long [C]gone
