Chords

[Intro] D G D [Verse 1]
        D
Well the night goes on forever when you try to make it last

        D                                         D7
We were passing time together, just laying in the grass

       G
And we looked up at the heaven and we saw the worlds collide

        D
We were lying still and watching, they were flying through the sky
[Chorus]
    G            D
The stars in Oklahoma

             G                 A
Never seen a night so cool and clear

         G            D
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma

        A                      D
Burn so bright then they disappear
[Verse 2]
G        D
Well the moonlight has a way of throwing shadows on the night

         D                                           D7
It would be a shame to waste it on a place we had to hide

         G
With the morning glowing bright and shining light upon our faces

   D
We faded with the dawning then we went our separate ways
[Chorus]
           G            D
'Neath the stars in Oklahoma

             G                 A
Never seen a night so cool and clear

         G            D
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma

              A                      Bm
They shine so bright, then they disappear
[Bridge]
       G
Ah the stars in Oklahoma and the banks in late September

      D
And I lead you through the darkness on a night you won't remember

   G
Is everyone that easy, do they all just play the fool

         A                                                   G
Are they all just out here lookin' for a way to break the rules
[Instrumental] D G A G D A D
       G      D
Well it would take a fool to say it, like a photograph o' grace

       D                                    D7
Fools need supervision or a gift for saving face

         G
Yeah, we got it on a handshake, bought it for a song

      D
Yeah, chase a simple feeling for doing something wrong
[Chorus]
           G            D
'Neath the stars in Oklahoma

             G                 A
Never seen a night so cool and clear

         G            D
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma

              A                  Bm
Shine so bright, then they disappear

              A                  D
Shine so bright, then they disappear
