Version 1Capo 1st fret When playing a G in the verses, you can hammer on/pull off to the 5th and 2nd fret of the high E string to get closer to what Jack plays. [Intro] G F C D G F C D G G C C G G C C [Verse 1] G The light was leaving and the west it was blue C G The children's laughter sang And skipping just like the stones they threw C C Their voices echoed across the way D It's getting late [Chorus] G F C D It was just another night with a sunset and a G F C D moonrise not so far behind to give us just enough light G F C D To lay down underneath the stars listen to papa's translations G F C D Of the stories across the sky, we drew our own constellations [Solo] G G C C G G C C [Verse 2] G The west winds often last too long C G The wind may calm down nothing ever feels the same Sheltered under the Kamani tree C G Waiting for the passing rain Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene C G Stars above us chasing the day away To find the stories that we sometimes need C Listen close enough C D All else fades, fades away [Chorus] G F C D It was just another night with a sunset and a G F C D moonrise not so far behind to give us just enough light G F C D To lay down underneath the stars listen to papa's translations G F C D Of the stories across the sky, we drew our own constellations [Outro] G F C D G F C D G
