Starry Night- Patrick Park
Wonderful song by this awesome artist!
I came up with my own way to play the song, you can follow
it or not, but it sounds good!
Basically, finger pick the chords while playing the following melody
(figure out however you are most comfortable incorporating it)
In the chorus, I thought it sounded neat to throw in a Cadd9 instead of
a plain C chord. You can play either though
Cadd9:
E-0- -3-
B-3- -3-
G-0- -0-
D-2-OR-2-
A-3- -3-
E--- ---
Intro: (h = hammer-on)
G D Am C
E-3-2-0------2-0--------0--------------0-|
B--------0h3-----3--0h1---3-1--0h1-1-3---|
G----------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------| Play this twice
A----------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------|
VERSE 1
G D
Well I remember back when I was young
Am C
And king of all my days
G D
How I never used to worry about a thing
Am C
But time it turns the page
Am Em
Cause now my head is set to spin
B C
And my worries start where my worries end
BRIDGE (while playing C chord, do this
small scale on the bottom 2 strings)
C Em
E----------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------|
G----------------------------------------|
D---------------2------------------------|
A-3-----3-2-----2------------------------|
E----3-----3-2--0------------------------|
CHORUS
Em Cadd9 G D
And everyone’s making me promises that burn like city lights
Em Cadd9 G D
But I’d trade every single one of them for a starry night
Em Cadd9
Where my mind don’t race like a spoiled child
G D
And I feel the warm wind blow
Am Em
Rolling down some dark highway
B C (No Chord)
Far far away from this big show.
Repeat Intro
VERSE 2 (Same chords)
Well living everyday in this strange parade it gets under my skin
It’s always things you think you want the most that tend to cage you in
Until you make the same mistakes time and time again.
CHORUS
Repeat Intro to end on G
Enjoy! Let me know if there are any issues!
