Donovan - Yellow Star Chords

By Donovan Leitch



(reggae rhythm… )
Verse 1:
             E
There have been bad thing done 
                B
There have been some good one 
         B
And many people died 
         E
And many nations cried 
         E       
And many babies came 
        A        G#m
As many died again 
           F#m
Yet always Man prevailed 
                A            
Yeah though the Devil wailed 
E E E E

Verse 2 (same progression)
You know we're way out there 
In some galaxy hair 
With all this space around 
We fight to keep our share. 
With all our cruelty 
And all our jealousy 
We find it hard to give 
To just live and let live 
To live and let live 

Chorus:
A               B        E       A
It's all in the Dance of Life my friend
A               B         E     C#m 
It's all in the Song that never ends
A               B        E       C#m 
It's all in the Dance of Life my friend 
A              B      E
Following that Yellow Star 
Following that Yellow Star 
Following that Yellow Star 
Following that Yellow Star 

Verse 3:
We think that we're so big 
The truth we never, never twig 
And if some Quasar gonna blow 
I guess we'd never, never know 
And long before that day 
When we are burned away 
Let us take time to smile 
And swing a little while 
Just a little while. 

Verse 4:
There have been many, many words 
And just as many, many turds 
It's all a kind of dream 
And not quite what it seems 
But when the talking's done 
This Life of Death we're gonna shun 
And turn our heart to Him (Hailé Sélassié)
Whose Light will never, never dim
