Joni Mitchell
[Intro]
  G4           Gm11          G4           Gm11
| /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  / |  /  /  /  /  |

[Verse 1]
 G4                      Gsus7
"Look out the left", the Captain said,
G4 *                         Gsus7 *                    G
     "The lights down there, that's where we'll land!"
G  C                   G  C
      I saw a falling      ...star burn up,
G  C                Cadd9 G   Cadd9 G Cadd9 G   Cadd9   G
      Above the Las Vegas sands

[Verse 2]
   G4                      Gsus7
It wasn't the one that you gave to me,
G4 *                   Gsus7 *                   G
       That night down south between the trail - ers,
G  C                       G  C
       Not the early one       ...that you can wish upon,
G  C                             G             Cadd9  G
       Not the northern one that guides in the sail - ors

[Chorus]
    Gmaj7         Am11
Oh, star bright,  star bright,
Cadd9                              G
You've got the loving that I like, alright,
Gmaj7           Am11
Turn this crazy bird around,
G  Cadd9                    G                   Cadd9
I...     shouldn't have got on this flight to - night

   G      Dsus7 G *  Cadd9           G            Cadd9
|  /  /  /  /__/  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |

   G      Dsus7 G *  Cadd9  G

[Verse 3]
G4                   Gsus7
You got that look so gentle and sweet, but...
G4 *                          Gsus7 *
    ...You've got the look so critical,
     G    C                  G       C
Now, I ...can't talk to you, baby, I get so weak,
G  C              G                      Cadd9         G
      Sometimes I think that love is just   ...mythi - cal

[Verse 4]
G4                    Gsus7
Up there's a heaven,  down there's a town,
G4 *                            Gsus7 *
      Blackness everywhere, and little lights shine,
G   C                  G      C
Oh, blackness, black - ness,  dragging me down,
G   C                                 G    Cadd9    G
    Come on, light the candle in this poor heart of mine

[Chorus]
    Gmaj7         Am11
Oh, star bright,  star bright,
Cadd9                              G
You've got the loving that I like, alright,
Gmaj7           Am11
Turn this crazy bird around,
G  Cadd9                     G                   Cadd9
I...      shouldn't have got on this flight to - night

[Verse 5]
             G4                         Gsus7
I'm drinking sweet champagne,   got the headphones up high,
      G4 *                              Gsus7*
Can't   ...numb you out, can't drum you out of my mind,
        G         C              G    C               G
They're playing, 'Good bye, ba - by!  Baby, good bye!
C    G    Cadd9   G     Cadd9 G Cadd9 G     Cadd9     G
Oo - oo,  love is blind!'

[Verse 6]
G4                Gsus7
Up go the flaps,  down go the wheels,
G4 *                      Gsus7 *
      I hope you got your heat turned on, baby,
G    C                       G    C
I ...hope they finally fixed your automobile,
G    C                      G       Cadd9    G
         I hope it's better when we meet a - gain, baby

[Chorus]
Gmaj7         Am11
Star bright,  star bright,
Cadd9                                   G
You've got the loving that I like, al - right,
Gmaj7           Am11
Turn this crazy bird around,
G   Cadd9                     G                   Cadd9
           Shouldn't have got on this flight to - night
