Artist: Emily Elbert
Song: Stars
Tabbed by: Jessie :)
This song is really relaxed so these chords are just a general guideline.
I got these chords by listening to this version of the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th3GMejUm3I
Suggestions:
-The guitar can fool around by adding dominant 7ths to the minor chords
-or a major 7th to the G chords
-or switching some of the Bm's with D/F#'s :P
+Classical guitar recommended.
-The bass can have fun dodging root notes and emphasizing dissonance
-particularly the Eb during the chorus :D
+Upright bass recommended.
KEY OF G ...or something :P

Even when it's gray there is a sun somewhere.
G7 E7
Even when you're short of breath there's still some air.
Am D7 G Bm
Even when it's cold outside there's love to warm our souls and we'll be fine.
G Bm
If I lose my guitar I'll still have songs to sing.
G7 E7
If I lose my car I'll be just fine walking.
