SHOOTING STAR — Harry Chapin
Covered by Pat Benatar
From the «Harry Chapin Tribute» album
Am
He was crazy, of course
G F
From the first she must have known it
G
But she ***** went on with him
G Am
And never once had shown it
Am
She took him off the streets
G F
And she dried his tears of grieving
G
***************************
G Am
She believed in his believing
C Am G
Oh he was the sun burning bright and brittle and
G Am
She was the moon shining back his light a little
F G
He was a shooting star, she was softer and more slowly
Am
He could not make things possible
F Am
But she could make them holy — holy
Am G
Well she gave him a daughter and she gave him a son
G F
She was a mother and a wife, and a lover when the day was done
Am
When he was too far gone for giving love
G
What he offered her instead
Am
Was the knowledge she was the only thing
F Am
That was not in his head
