Melanie - Tin Star


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: Em D C D

  G    Em G       Em C
How old was I, five or six or so
       G   C     D
The innocent years, long ago
  G       Em   G       Em  C
My father on his chair, reaching up so far
       G       C  D  G
Crowning the tree, with that old tin star

CHORUS:
   Bm     C      Em    D   G  Em
And it shines so pretty, like diamonds in the sun
      D     C     D
Nothing but good things will ever come
      C      G      C   D   G
Little girl don't grow up, stay as sweet as you are
    C        Em      D    G
May you always find the wonder of that old tin star


      Em G        Em  C
When I grew up, found a place to live
         G   C        D
And I unpacked my things, I found a gift
    G     Em      G        Em
And it felt like home, though I'd traveled so far
    C      G       C  D  G
'Cause there in my hands was that old tin star


CHORUS:
     Bm     C      Em    D   G  Em
And now it shines so pretty, like diamonds in the sun
      D      C     D
Nothing but good things will ever come
    C        G      C   D   G
Little girl don't grow up, stay as sweet as you are
    C       Em      D    G   Bm
May you always gaze in wonder at that old tin star


(CHORUS:
     C    Em    D   G  Em
Shines so pretty, diamonds in the sun
      D     C     D   C  G  C  D  G  C  Em  D  G
Nothing but good things will ever come)

         Em    G         Em  C
I have kids of my own, and troubles, I've had some
        G       C    D
I've cried some tears and I've had my fun
   G       Em     G      Em
Now I climb up that chair and I reach out so far
  C       G     C  D  G
And my child looks up at that old tin star


CHORUS:
     Bm        C      Em    D   G  Em
'Cause it still shines so pretty, like diamonds in the sun
      D     C     D
Nothing but good things will ever come
    C        G      C   D   G
Little girl don't grow up, stay as sweet as you are
    C       Em       D    C
May you always gaze in wonder at that old tin star
    G        Em     C   D   G
Little girl don't grow up, stay as sweet as you are
    C       Em       D  C  G
