Verse 1:
        D
Well the night goes on forever when you try to make it last
        D                                         D7
We were passing time together, just laying in the grass
       G
And we looked up at the heaven and we saw the worlds collide
        D
We were lying still and watching, they were flying through the sky

The stars in Oklahoma

Never seen a night so cool and clear
         G            D
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
        A                      D
Burn so bright then they disappear

G        D
Well the moonlight has a way of throwing shadows on the night
         D                                           D7
It would be a shame to waste it on a place we had to hide
         G
With the morning glowing bright and shining light upon our faces
   D
We faded with the dawning then we went our separate ways

They shine so bright, then they disappear

Bridge:
       G
Ah the stars in Oklahoma and the banks in late September
      D
And I lead you through the darkness on a night you won't remember
   G
Is everyone that easy, do they all just play the fool
         A                                                   G
Are they all just out here lookin' for a way to break the rules

Instrumental:

       G      D
Well it would take a fool to say it, like a photograph o' grace
       D                                    D7
Fools need supervision or a gift for saving face
         G
Yeah, we got it on a handshake, bought it for a song
      D
Yeah, chase a simple feeling for doing something wrong

Chorus:
           G            D
'Neath the stars in Oklahoma
             G                 A
Never seen a night so cool and clear
         G            D
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
              A                  Bm
Shine so bright, then they disappear
              A                  D
Shine so bright, then they disappear
