Gm 
My name is Marley Peyton, my middle name is Rose 
                                   F       Gm 
I never met nobody from up North I don't suppose 
Gm                                             Am 
But I can sing a song for you, you can sing it too 
Gm                                   
"Twinkle twinkle silver star    
                             
"Twinkle twinkle silver star 
Gm                                   F        Gm 
"Twinkle twinkle silver star, I will wait for you" 
Gm 
I come from Carolina - the middle of this day 
                                  F Gm 
Got married to a soldier boy in 1968 
Gm                                           Am 
Or was it '69 now - my memory don't serve me well 
Gm                   F   Gm 
Oh, oh... 
Gm 
Papa he cried for his little girl; Mama she cried for joy 
                                          F      Gm 
Me I lay awake and cry for the love of my soldier boy 
Gm                                             Am 
Some say that he went crazy; some say he was before 
Gm                  
Mama mama pray for me, Mama mama pray for me 
Gm                               F       Gm 
Mama mama pray for me, me and my soldier boy 
Gm 
Outside the rain comes pouring down 
Gm 
Through the rain I hear him call 
Gm 
Half-past ten and he wants in 
                              F Gm 
Ain't nothin' gonna stop him at all 
Gm                                       Am 
"Oh come to me my soldier, come to me my life 
Gm                                        F    Gm 
Come to me my soldier boy on this our wedding night..." 
Gm 
His shadow fills my doorway 
Gm 
His weapon in his hand 
Gm 
I hear him scream to no one there 
                    F  Gm 
He'll drop us where we stand 
Gm                                                  Am 
And in his eyes a fire burns this village he takes down 
Gm                                          F         Gm 
And from the wall one Silver Star now falls without a sound 
Gm 
I hear him pull the trigger 
Gm 
They say he felt no pain 
Gm 
I left lying where he stood 
Gm               F       Gm 
Face down in the pouring rain 
Gm                                                    Am  
And on the ground beneath his head a Silver Star does lay 
Gm                                             F       Gm 
And in his fist one single rose from this our wedding day 
Gm 
My name is Marley Peyton, my middle name is Rose 
Gm                                 F     Gm     
I never met nobody from up North I don't suppose 
Gm                                             Am 
But I can sing a song for you; you can sing it too 
Gm 
"Twinkle twinkle Silver Star 
 
Twinkle twinkle Silver Star 
 
Twinkle twinkle Silver Star 
Gm          F   Gm 
I will wait for you..."
