Gene Clark - Shooting star

You were born into the storm ^G Cast adrift upon the waves ^Dm7 To be living ^Fand make life be^Cgin

Like the ancient mystic ship ^G Bounding seaward toward the sun ^Dm7 Becomes a cosmic ^Fdancer in the ^Cwind

Stars that shine and rains that swirl ^G Sparkling sands of endless worlds ^Dm7 Driven by the ^Fthought that men are ^Cfree

Love that makes and breaks a man ^G Memories fade and new ones stand ^Dm7 F C C-Cadd9-C-F And another ship bounds through the sea

Like in dreams, some^G7times it's so con^Amfusing to change Am-G7 F G When you move from where you have been Am C-Cadd9-C-F To where you have come Like in life, when you look ^G7int^Amo a child's eyes Am-G7 F G They see_ it's all very clear It's near and then ^Cgone ^{Am C}

Before the rising of the sun ^G Before the whirling winds were stirred ^Dm7 Before the simple ^Frhymes of men were ^Csung

Before the age of hate and pride ^G Before we laughed, before we cried ^Dm7 We were all con^Ftained and then be^Cgun
