By Starlight Chords & Tabs
Pretty song, easy to play.
There's some sort of phaser going on, but it sounds nice acoustically, too.
Intro:
(you can throw in quick 9th notes in here and there on the C's for variety...same goes for the verses)

By starlight I'll kiss you and promise to be your one and

C Cmaj7 Gm F
mine.

Soon said I, will
C Cmaj7 Gm F
know. And are you just like me?

Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas.

all along, we knew we'd carry on

And does she really know me?

At last.....and are you just like me?

Oooohhh...are you just like me?
