Chord/Tab song: If the Stars Were Mine

If The Stars Were Mine - Melody Gardot
Tuning: Dropped D

[ch]Gmaj13[/ch] [ch]Em13[/ch]
If the stars were mine I'd give them all to you
[ch]Em13[/ch]
I'd pluck them down right from the sky And leave it only blue
[D9]I would never let the sun forget To shine upon your face
[ch]Gmaj13[/ch] D9
So when others would have rain clouds You'd have only sunny days
[ch]Gmaj13[/ch] [ch]Em13[/ch]
If the stars were mine I'd tell you what I'd do
Db7 C7 B7 Bb7 D7 [ch]Gmaj13[/ch]
I'd put the stars right in a jar And give 'em all to you

[ch]Gmaj13[/ch] [ch]Em13[/ch]
If the birds were mine I'd tell them when to sing
[ch]Em13[/ch]
I'd make them sing a sonnet When your telephone would ring
[D9]I would put them there inside the square Whenever you went out
[ch]Gmaj13[/ch] D9
So there'd always be sweet music Whenever you walk about
[ch]Gmaj13[/ch] [ch]Em13[/ch]
If the birds were mine I'd tell you what I'd do
Db7 C7 B7 Bb7 D7 [ch]Gmaj13[/ch]
I'd teach the birds such lovely words And make 'em sing for you
Db7 C7 B7 Bb7 D7 [ch]Gmaj13[/ch]
I'd teach the birds such lovely words And make 'em sing for you

1x Verse instrumental

[ch]Gmaj13[/ch] [ch]Em13[/ch]
If the world was mine I'd paint it gold and green
[ch]Em13[/ch]
I'd make the oceans orange For a brilliant color scheme
[D9]I would color all the mountains Make the sky forever blue
[ch]Gmaj13[/ch] D9
So the world would be a painting And I'd live inside with you
[ch]Gmaj13[/ch] [ch]Em13[/ch]
If the world was mine I'd tell you what I'd do
Db7 C7 B7 Bb7 D7 [ch]Gmaj13[/ch]
I'd wrap the world in ribbons And then give it all to you
Db7 C7 B7 Bb7 D7 [ch]Gmaj13[/ch] --> Slow down
I'd teach the birds such lovely words And make 'em sing for you
Db7 C7 B7 Bb7 D7 [ch]Gmaj13[/ch]
I'd put those stars right in a jar and Give them all to you
