Joni Mitchell
[Intro]
  Ab4           Abm11           Ab4            Abm11
|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |

[Verse 1]
 Ab4                     Absus7
"Look out the left", the Captain said,
Ab4 *                          Absus7 *                    Ab
       "The lights down there, that's where we'll land!"
Ab  Db                   Ab  Db
        I saw a falling       ...star burn up,
Ab  Db                Dbadd9 Ab   Dbadd9 Ab Dbadd9 Ab    Dbadd9   Ab
        Above the Las Vegas  sands

[Verse 2]
   Ab4                     Absus7
It wasn't the one that you gave to me,
Ab4 *                   Absus7 *                  Ab
        That night down south between the trail - ers,
Ab  Db                     Ab  Db
        Not the early one        ...that you can wish upon,
Ab  Db                            Ab            Dbadd9  Ab
        Not the northern one that guides in the sail  - ors

[Chorus]
    Abmaj7        Bbm11
Oh, star bright,  star bright,
Dbadd9                             Ab
You've got the loving that I like, alright,
Abmaj7          Bbm11
Turn this crazy bird around,
Ab  Dbadd9                     Ab                  Dbadd9
I...        shouldn't have got on this flight to - night

   Ab    Ebsus7 Ab *  Dbadd9          Ab            Dbadd9
|  /  /  /   /__/   |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |

   Ab    Ebsus7 Ab *  Dbadd9 Ab
|  /  /  /   /__/   |  /  /  /  /  |

[Verse 3]
Ab4                  Absus7
You got that look so gentle and sweet, but...
Ab4 *                        Absus7 *
   ...You've got the look so critical,
     Ab   Db                 Ab      Db
Now, I ...can't talk to you, baby, I get so weak,
Ab  Db              Ab                     Dbadd9         Ab
        Sometimes I think that love is just    ...mythi - cal

[Verse 4]
Ab4                  Absus7
Up there's a heaven, down there's a town,
Ab4 *                            Absus7 *
       Blackness everywhere, and little lights shine,
Ab  Db                 Ab    Db
Oh, blackness, black - ness, dragging me down,
Ab  Db                                Ab   Dbadd9   Ab
    Come on, light the candle in this poor heart of mine

[Chorus]
    Abmaj7       Bbm11
Oh, star bright, star bright,
Dbadd9                             Ab
You've got the loving that I like, alright,
Abmaj7          Bbm11
Turn this crazy bird around,
Ab  Dbadd9                     Ab                  Dbadd9
I...        shouldn't have got on this flight to - night

   Ab    Ebsus7 Ab *  Dbadd9          Ab            Dbadd9

   Ab    Ebsus7 Ab *  Dbadd9 Ab

[Verse 5]
             Ab4                       Absus7
I'm drinking sweet champagne,  got the headphones up high,
      Ab4 *                             Absus7
Can't   ...numb you out, can't drum you out of my mind,
        Ab        Db             Ab    Db              Ab
They're playing, 'Good bye, ba - by!   Baby, good bye!
Ab   Db   Dbadd9  Ab     Dbadd9 Ab Dbadd9 Ab     Dbadd9    Ab
Oo - oo,  love is blind!'

[Verse 6]
Ab4               Absus7
Up go the flaps,  down go the wheels,
Ab4 *                      Absus7 *
       I hope you got your heat turned on, baby,
Ab   Db                      Ab   Db
I ...hope they finally fixed your automobile,
Ab   Db                      Ab     Dbadd9   Ab
         I hope it's better when we meet a - gain, baby

[Chorus]
    Abmaj7        Bbm11
Oh, star bright,  star bright,
Dbadd9                             Ab
You've got the loving that I like, alright,
Abmaj7          Bbm11
Turn this crazy bird around,
Ab  Dbadd9                     Ab                  Dbadd9
I...        shouldn't have got on this flight to - night
