Stars

(F)There, (Am)out in the (Dm)(F)darkness,

a fugitive (Bb)(Gm)running,

fallen from (C7)grace, ness,

with fallen from (F)grace.

(Am)Stars be my (Dm)witness.

nels, (F)I never shall (Bb)yield (Gm)till we come face to (C7)face,

till we come face to (Dm)face.

He knows his way in the (Gm)dark,

but (C)mine is the way of the (Am)Lord.

And those who follow the (Gm)path of the (C7)righteous shall have their ways (F)(Am)reward.

(F7)And if they (Bbm)fall as Lucifer (Eb7)fell,

the (Ab)flame, the (C)sword!

(F)Stars, (Am)in your (Dm)(F)multitudes,

a scarce to be (Bb)counted,

(Gm)filling the (C7)darkness,

with order and (F)light.

(Am)You are the (Dm)senti nels,

(F)I silent and (Bb)sure, (Gm)keeping watch in the (C7)night,

keeping watch in the (Dm)night.

You know your place in the (Gm)skies.

but (C)You hold your course and your (Am)aim.

And each in your season (Gm)returns and returns (C7)and is al ways the (F)(Am)same.

(F7)And if you (Bbm)fall as Lucifer (Eb7)fell,

you (Ab)fall in (C)sword!

flame! And so it has (F)been and so it is (C)written on the (Cm)doorway to (Bb)Paradise,

that those who (Bbm)falter and those who (F)fall must (G)pay the (C)price.

(C)Lord, let me (Bb)find (Gm)him,

that I may (C)see him safe behind (F)bars.

I will (Dm)never rest (Bb)'til then.

This I (C)swear!

This I swear by the (F)stars!
