Belle and Sebastian – The Evening Star (Guitar)

C     Bm    Am7
  Too-la-la taaaaa ta-da

C     Bm    Am7
  Too-la-la taaaaa ta-da

C      B      Bb     Am       G    G
  Laaa-lalala laaaaa laaa-lalala

G                          G
I hope you don't mind if I send you a thought

                 C       G          Am7
You're still the special person for me

G
I know I should reserve that feeling for her

           C             G       Am7
But I have fallen down a well of longing

    C                  Bm      Em
I'm in a valley deep inside the earth

Am7                     Am 
  I'm in a rich vein of learning

C                       Bm           Em
 I'm stuck still in the depth of the mud

     F                             C
Just God and tree and star for the journey

G                              G
So listen friend you've got my love and respect

         C            G     Am7
Do you believe in the life eternal?

G                            G
 I've got a feeling we'll be talking tonight

          C                G          Am7
Because I knew you when we were so little

C                   Bm          Em
  I knew you when I was a queer fish

Am7                        Am
 You were the one they all wanted

C                       Bm          Em
 I showered you with my light from afar

    F                     C
Now everyone is following you

                   G    G
You're the evening star

Em        Em
  So many forces are pushing

A                       Bm  Em
How do you stay so calm?

           Em                     C
If I could master an hour of your peace

      Bm      Bb          Am       G    G
Maybe I would know how to let this go

G                   G
 I messed up on the practical side

          C             Bm         Am7
I can't believe all the trouble it caused me

G                          G
 I tried to make up on the spiritual side

          C             G       Am7
My web of prayers and advice implore you

C                     Bm           Em
 To live happy in the best way you can

Am7                  Am
 To live with or without me

C                        Bm         Em
 And if I feel like I am wasting my time

     F                       C
I'll write another letter to sing

               G    G
To the evening star

        Am7
Evening sta-a-ar

     Am                      G    G
I'll write another letter to her

        Am7
Evening sta-a-ar

     Am                      G    G
I'll write another letter to her

        Am7
Evening sta-a-ar

Am                  Cm7    Cm
  Another letter to her
