Chords

Here's the great song "Star Mile" from the album We Were Here. It's not particularly but it's fun to play. I haven't tabbed the picking but if you listen to the record you'll figure it out Also, everytime he changes from G major to E minor has a little bass-walk, usally E-3-2-0.

To the Hollywood din of the lonely

All’s well at the base of the hill, you might need to fill

a prescription to kill off the silence.
[Verse]

Look down from your tower on high and take in the night

Look her right in the eye, she’ll listen

  Life comes to those that are true

Em       D     C   Em        D          C             G
  The regular news,   over playing the blues with the light on

Em                    C            D       G        G/F#     Em
  And if you burn the road that’ll lead you   back to her in time

  They gather you back to their home, I guess it’s better than  being alone
