Lyrics by: J. Beres and K. Block
Music by: J. Beres and Sister Hazel
Capo 1 fret
Intro: E F#m A B E
(pause) E
I saw a starfish on the ground
He was half buried in the [F#m]sand
Just so out of place and [A]ah[B]h
(pause) E
He was a long, long way from home
I was a long, long way from home
And so we talked a little while
Then I shook his hands....and I
I was a long, long way from home
(Pause) A
And everything is wonderful
When everything's alright so [E]alright
[F#m]There we w[A]ere
(pause) E
One less star tonight
[E]Na na na na na na n[F#m]a
Na [A]na na na n[B]a na [E]
(Repeat)
We thought a better place to go
Might be the top of purple mountains
So close to outer space....and ahh
We were a long, long way from home
We'd bring some records and a game
Might take a walk or read a book
But it's not the same....no ahh
We're still a long long way from home
(Chorus)
(pause) E
I saw a starfish on the ground
Oh, he was still buried in the [F#m]sand
Now he's not so all [A]alone
And he's finally going [B]home
So I smiled and I shook his h[E]ands....and we were singin'
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
(Repeat)
[F#m]There we w[A]ere one less star tonight[E]
[F#m]There we w[A]ere one more star tonight
