A Star That Fell Down
Paul Thorn
"Live at Short Street" (2000)
Capo 3
[Intro]
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
[Verse]
G D/F# G Cadd9 D/F# G
I saw Cinderella / on Heartache and Vine
D/F# Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
She sang a capella / and turned dollars into wine
G D/F# G Cadd9 D/F# G
Through the crowd I heard the melody / "Mississippi, Your On My Mind".
D/F# Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
And though no one noticed / I saw a tear fall from her eye
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D/F# G D/F# Em7
She's like a star that fell down / on the wrong side of town
Cadd9 D/F# Em E7
But to me she shines / more than all these city lights
Cadd9 D/F# G D/F# Em7
Back in Tupelo tonight / something's missing in the sky
Am Am/G D/F# G D/F# Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
Must be a star ... / That fell down
[Verse]
G D/F# G Cadd9 D/F# G
I took her picture standing / outside the Hollywood Bowl
D/F# Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
She believes that one day / they'll come here to see her show
G D/F# G Cadd9 D/F# G
She waded in the fountain / among the wishes others threw in
D/F# Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
She didn't have a penny / so I tossed one in
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D/F# G D/F# Em7
She's like a star that fell down / on the wrong side of town
Cadd9 D/F# Em E7
But to me she shines / more than all these city lights
Cadd9 D/F# G D/F# Em7
Back in Tupelo tonight / something's missing in the sky
Am Am/G D/F# G D/F# Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
Must be a star ... / That fell down
[Verse]
G D/F# G Cadd9 D/F# G
In the City of Angels / big dreams die hard
D/F# Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
Back home they don't know / she's been sleeping in her car
G D/F# G Cadd9 D/F# G
She parks it by a payphone / she gave the number to a friend of a friend
D/F# Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
She's waiting on a ship that / ain't ever coming in
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D/F# G D/F# Em7
She's like a star that fell down / on the wrong side of town
Cadd9 D/F# Em E7
But to me she shines / more than all these city lights
Cadd9 D/F# G D/F# Em7
Back in Tupelo tonight / something's missing in the sky
Am Am/G D/F# G D/F# Em7
Must be a star ... / That fell down
Am Am/G D/F# G Cadd9 G
Must be a star ... / That fell down
