Chord/Tab song: Stars on the Water

Rodney Crowell - Stars On The Water (with lead)


A x02220 F#m 244222



[A]INTRO[F#m][A]

[A]Down in Louisiana bayous by and by,

Perogue pole or your natural soul

Keeps you tied to a tree high tide.
[F#m]Beer joint lights come on,
And then the [A]crowd starts rollin' in.

Pretty soon you got stars on the water

Just like stars on the water
You got [F#m]stars on the water, let it [A]rain

[A]Beaumont to Biloxi,

Sea breeze at your door.

Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes

White silver sandy shores.
The [F#m]Blue Light lounge is shinin'
[A]Way out on the view.

It looks just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like [F#m]stars on the water, let it [A]rain

[A]INSTR[F#m]UMENTAL[A]

[A]When it's midnight down in Mobile,

Shinin' moonbeams on the bay,

They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down

And dig the good time sounds they all play.
And [F#m]all across the harbour,
[A]Night lights shinin' on.


It looks just like stars on the water,

Just like stars on the water,
Feels just like [F#m]stars on the water, let it [A]rain.


Pretty soon you got stars on the water,

You got stars on the water,
You got [F#m]stars on the water, let it [A]rain.
