Roll back the Clouds
(Christy Hennessy - Redemption Songs)

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

Chorus:

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


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

Chorus:

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

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

Chorus:

C majorC               G MajorG
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 MajorG
I am a star.
