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
