Melanie – Tin Star (Guitar)

    G       Em G              Em  C
How old was I, five or six or so

             G     C         D
The innocent years, long ago

   G             Em     G              Em   C
My father on his chair, reaching up so far

             G              C    D   G
Crowning the tree, with that old tin star

      Bm          C            Em       D      G    Em
And it  shines so pretty, like diamonds in the sun

            D          C          D
Nothing but good things will ever come

           C           G           C     D      G
Little girl don't grow up, stay as sweet as you are

When I grew up, found a place to live

                  G      C               D
And I unpacked my things, I found a gift

       G         Em           G               Em 
And it felt like home, though I'd traveled so far

       C           G             C    D   G
'Cause there in my hands was that old tin star

          Bm          C            Em       D      G    Em
And now it  shines so pretty, like diamonds in the sun

            D           C         D
Nothing but good things will ever come

       C               G           C     D      G
Little girl don't grow up, stay as sweet as you are

I have kids of my own, and troubles, I've had some

                G             C        D
I've cried some tears and I've had my fun

      G             Em          G            Em 
Now I climb up that chair and I reach out so far

And my child looks up at that old tin star

         Bm                C            Em       D      G    Em
