Capo 1st fret When playing a G in the verses, you can hammer on/pull off to the 5th and 2nd fret of the high E string to get closer to what Jack plays
[Verse]
G The light was leaving and the west it was blue C The children's laughter sang G And skipping just like the stones they threw C Their voices echoed across the way D7 It's getting late
[Chorus]
GFC It was just another night D With a sunset GFC And a moonrise not so far behind D To give us just enough light GFC To lay down underneath the stars D Listen to papa's translations GFC Of the stories across the sky D We drew our own constellations
[Verse]
G The west winds often last too long C The wind may calm down nothing ever feels the same G Sheltered under the Kamani tree C Waiting for the passing rain G Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene C Stars above us chasing the day away G To find the stories that we sometimes need C Listen close enough D7 All else fades, fades away
[Chorus]
GFC It was just another night D With a sunset GFC And a moonrise not so far behind D To give us just enough light GFC To lay down underneath the stars D Listen to all the translations GFC Of the stories across the sky D We drew our own constellations
