Shooting Star 
Harry Chapin    (klr) 
 
Em He was crazy, of course 
>From the C first she must have known it 
But D still she went on Bm with him 
And she G never once had Em shown it 
And she took him off the street 
And she C dried his tears of grieving 
She D listened to his Bm visions 
She be G lieved in his be Em lieving 
 
C He was the sun burning bright and brittle 
And D she was the moon shining back his light a little 
C He was a shooting star 
Bm She was softer and more slowly 
He A could not make things possible 
But C she could make them holy, Holy Em 
 
Em He was dancing to some music 
No one C else had ever heard 
He'd D speak in unknown Bm languages 
And she would G translate every Em word 
And when the world was laughing 
At his C castles in the sky 
She'd D hold him in her Bm body 
Until he G once again could Em fly 
 
C He was the sun burning bright and brittle 
And D she was the moon shining back his light a little 
C He was a shooting star 
Bm She was softer and more slowly 
He A could not make things possible 
But C she could make them holy, Holy Em 
 
She G gave him a daughter and she D gave him a son 
She was a Bm mother and a wife 
And a Em lover when the day was done 
He was to G far gone for giving love 
What he D offered in its stead 
Was the Bm knowledge she was the only thing 
That Em was not in his G head  D - Em 
 
Em He took off east one morning 
Towards the C rising sun's red glow 
She D knew he was going Bm nowhere 
But of G course she let him Em go 
And as she stood and watched him dwindle 
Much too C empty to be sad 
He D reappeared be Bm side her 
Saying "You're G all I've ever Em had" 
 
C He was the sun burning bright and brittle 
And D she was the moon shining back his light a little 
C He was a shooting star 
Bm She was softer and more slowly 
He A could not make things possible 
But C she could make them holy, Holy Em
