New Star Song Chords & Tabs
From Mike + Howard F.
Capo 1 (this is just one of the ways i figured out from the album, you can capo it lots
of places and it can be different live, im guessing John's tuned down a step or
something on the album..)
Can also just do Capo 3 and drop all the chords a full step, i play that sometimes too..
A F#m D A
F#m D A F#m
i hung pictures of you from every lamp post in town
D A F#m D
as the humidity climbed into numbers i don't care to repeat
A F#m
the air was heavy and the sky was alive
D A E
and the pacific starlight train wasn't due in till 11.45

E A
i thought about how cold you must be
E A
i thought about things i thought that i'd soon be forgetting
E A D
i thought of you up in canada as the lightning storm lit up
A F#m
all downtown redding
D A F#m
there were teenagers in mini-trucks coming around every corner
D A F#m
you can taste the adrenaline, coming out through their skin
D A
i came to the well-lit doorway of a sheet music store
F#m D A
E
saw my face in the glass. sat down in the doorway and i settled in.
