Song: Star, Star
Artist: The Frames
This is how I play Star, Star on an acoustic guitar. It's kind of a mixture of the
on Dance the Devil, Breadcrumb Trail, and Setlist.
Basically you play the chords E, A, B, A repeatedly, in that order.
I play the B chord like this: and C#m like this:
e:-0-| e:-0-|
B:-4-| B:-5-|
G:-4-| G:-6-|
D:-4-| D:-6-|
A:---| A:-4-|
E:---| E:---|
Intro:
e:-------0-----0-----0-----0-----0------|
B:----------2-----4-----------2-----4---|
G:----4---------------------------------|
D:--------------------------------------|
A:--------------------------------------|
E:-0--------------------0---------------|
Here is a rough indication of where the chords go:
e B A
Star, Star, teach me how to shine, shine,
B e B A
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind,
B e
Cos I don't understand these people,
B A
Saying the hill's too steep, well,
B e B A B
They'll talk and talk forever but they'll just never climb.

B:----0-----0--4-----4--0--0-----------|
G:-------------------------------------|

e B A B e
Falling down into these situations, bringing out the best in you,
B A B
Flat on your back, yeah,
e B A
And Star, your every word I'm heeding,
B e
Can you help me to see?
B A B
Cos I'm lost in the marsh.
Same chords as first verse:
Star, Star, teach me how to shine, shine,
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind,
Cos I don't understand these people,
Saying we're all asleep, well,
They'll toss and turn forever but no rest will they find.
c#m A B
And Star, teach me how to shine.
(Middle bit - different for each version.)
e B A
Star, Star, teach me how to shine, shine,
B e B A
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind. ( X 4 )
Outro: Play intro and then strum E chord once, slowly.
Chords:
e: 022100
A: x02220
B: xx4440
c#m: x46650 or 446654
