The Light Outlives The Star

• E

Capo 1 

E 
There are stars so distant 

A 
The light that left 'em ages ago just came into 

E 
view 

B7 
That twinkling we're seeing now 
May  

A 
be from a star that burned out ages a- 

E 
go 

B7 
When I was  

E 
young like you 
Oh and that's the  

A 
way 
That's the way our  

E 
people are 
They ain't  

B7 
gone long as they shine on 

E 
In our hearts 
And just so we  

A 
know 
Right where they 

E 
are 

B7 
God lets the light outlive the  

E 
star 
The stars we see in the sky at night 

A 
Are there all day but they're lost in the sunlight 

E 
Without darkness, stars cannot shine 

B7 
As without sorrow, joy would be be- 

E 
nign 
Oh and that's the  

A 
way 
That's the way our  

E 
people are 
They ain't  

B7 
gone long as they shine on 

E 
In our hearts 
And just so we  

A 
know 
They ain't gone a- 

E 
way too far 

B7 
God lets the light outlive the  

E 
star 

(no singing) 
A  A  E  E  
B7  B7  E  E   

E 
'Cause there are stars so distant 

A 
The light that left 'em ages ago just came  

E 
into view 

B7 
That twinkling we're seeing now 
May be from a  

A 
star that burned out  

E 
ages ago 

B7 
When I was young like 

E 
you 
Oh and that's the  

A 
way 
That's the way our  

E 
people are 
He ain't  

B7 
gone long as he shines on 

E 
And on in our hearts 
And just so we  

A 
know 
Brother right where you 

E 
are 

B7 
God lets the light outlive the  

E 
star 

B7 
That's why God lets the light outlive the  

A  A  E    
star
