Keep in mind this is the Movie Version by Russell Crowe, without a Capo. I wrote
this because it is in a different key from the Original Broadway version. You
alternatively can use a capo for this version of the song, by playing the Original
Broadway chords on CAPO 8. However that is a huge pain, especially without a
cutaway on your guitar.
****All C chords played in this song are "sweet C" chords (much like an "Eagle's
G"), indicating that you play the low E string with your ring finger, and play the
A string with your pinky, or small finger. The tab for that is this: (332010)
****Use Barre F when playing this song, over Open F.
All other chords are played normally, unless otherwise specified in the tab below.

(Verse 2: Same as verse 1)
Stars
In your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night
You know your place in the sky
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season
Returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
You fall in flame!
