The Stars Look Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I m[C]ade[G] a [C]pap[G]er plane
[Dm]And threw it into sp[F]ace
[G]It see[C]med to flo[Dm]at for[G]ever[C]
[G]No telling where it went
[F]Snatched [Dm]by a su[G]dden breeze
It [C]sails the [Dm]wide, blue [G]yonder[C]
[G]I know my aeroplane
[F]Fell back to earth again
[C]But I pre[F]tend[Dm]
It [G]never

[Verse 2]
[G]
One moonless, summer night
[F]We'll lie back counting stars
[G]Like dia[C]monds on [F]black vel[G]vet
We'll see the satellites
[F]Fly past the southern cross
[G]And lau[C]gh as the[F]y obser[G]ve us
Somewhere a river flows
[F]And whispers in the dark
[C]A story [F]near- [G]eternal
It speaks of mountain rain
[F]Valleys and open plain
And [C]hungers [F]for
The [G]ocean[F]
[G][F]

[Verse 3]
[G]
[F]I d[G]on'[F]t wan na [G]die

[Verse 4]
Tonight, the setting [F]sun
Blood- stained this ragged day
And [C]left our [F]hopes in [G]tatters
But then the twilight came
[F]And covered up our shame
[C]Without a [F]trace of [G]pity[C]
[G]Always the stars look down
[F]The heavens never care
They [C]only [F]watch,
[Dm]unblin[G]king

[Verse 6]
I made a paper [F]plane
And threw it into space
