Roll back the Clouds
(Christy Hennessy - Redemption Songs)

Verse:
         G+G                C majorC
I've been sitting here so long, for you to hear my song,
      D MajorD                G+G
And all you want to know, have I been on the radio,
         G+G                  C majorC
Who's the biggest star I've seen, what is my favourite scene,
     D MajorD              G+G
And if I get the job would I sing on Mars.
        G+G               C majorC
Yes Sir I would sing on Mars, I'd play upon a star,
     D MajorD              G+G
I'd sing songs of the Sun and when my job was done,
       G+G                 C majorC
I would say I love you so, I'd like to play one more,
     D MajorD             G+G
Just for all young lovers, for the road.

Chorus:

C majorC         G+G
Tell me Son, yeah just how far,
C majorC        D MajorD
I need to go to be a star.

Verse:
        G+G                  C majorC
I have known my highs and lows, I've worked in every show,
        D MajorD            G+G
I've played in every town, brought some houses down,
         G+G               C majorC
The critics never noticed me, I'm not a star you see,
     D MajorD           G+G
And yet I give my heart to every part.
         G+G                   C majorC
I would stand for hours and hours, I'd walk through some showers,
    D MajorD          G+G
With my dancing shoes and my dreams and views,
        G+G                C majorC
I walk upon an empty stage with one light in my face,
   D MajorD                  G+G
To be told don't phone us, but we'll phone you.

Chorus:

C majorC         G+G
Tell me Son, yeah just how far,
C majorC        D MajorD
I need to go to be a star.

Bridge:
       G+G                 C majorC
Every day the same old scene, the same old happenings,
     D MajorD           G+G
A augmentedA hundred miles of shows and no place to go,
            G+G                  C majorC
And when your luck has all run out, you're asked to take a bow,
      D MajorD                 G+G
You've just stolen the show now you're on your own.

Chorus:

C majorC        G+G
Yes Sir I would sing on Mars,
C majorC         D MajorD
My dream scene is me a star,

Outro:

  D MajorD
Is me a star,
    G+G
I am a star.
