Night Of A Thousand Stars
Written By: Robert Hunter
Performed by: Warren Haynes/Phil Lesh & Friends
BFull moon rising over Alcatraz
F#mHangin' there like a Abig toEpaz
BRuling this night of a thousand stars
F#mWith a back seat full of Abroken Eguitars
BRaised in chains by Jehosaphat's daughter
F#mServed twenty years for walkin'A on the Ewater
BJust out fishin' for love in the rain
F#mFrom an easy chair in theA passing laEne
F#mIf I had forgotten, I'd Aremember Ewell
F#mThe fruit and the tree from Awhich it Efell
F#mMany long years rollin' Ahomeward bEound
F#mGoin' hell-for-leather on this Amerry go roEund
Chorus
ENight of a Bthousand Astars
EThe sound of Bsweet gAuitars
BOn this night (Aon this night)
BOn this night (Aon this night)
BOn this night (Aon this night)
BOn this night of a thousand Estars
BDown in the laundry with my head in my hands
F#mDoin' whatsoever the ALord cEommands
BPoppin' the hood off a Ford V8
F#mDisguised with an out of staAte license Eplate
BPayin' my taxes in whiskey and blood
F#mMixed in a barrel floatinAg on the flEood
BDoing my penance for a life of crime
F#mSinging B Minor Masses inA double timEe
F#mThe tiger and the lion hangAing on the Ewall
F#mBetween the head of a saint anAd a bocce bEall
F#mI've been rebuked and I'Ave been scoErned
F#mBut I can't ever say that I haven'tA been warneEd

EI tried to serve Bmyou rAight
E Bm A-E
I tried to serve you well
EIt looked all right byBm morning ligAht
BmIn hindsight - whoA can tell?
Jam on Chorus
BFlipping through the pages of my soul
F#mMy heart rears up and swallowAs me Ewhole
BThese were moments of my life
F#mSince dissected with a thick Ablunt Eknife
BIf I could recapture one moment of truth
F#mFrom the firm foundation of a Amisspent Eyouth
BI'd fall like rain on this thirsty earth
F#mA testament of beauty Aand woErth
F#mBut if it don't happen becauAse it cEan't
F#mI hope and pray this wAish you graEnt
F#mFrom one man's heart to a Afalling Estar
F#mWe always remember wAho we aEre
Jam on Chorus
BRemember the night of a thousand stars
F#mWhen love swam naked in Athe resEervoir
BWriting mad sonnets in the midnight park
F#mLeaving tracks of tears for Aher wEatermark
BDrums of the jungle on the edge of night
F#mOnly you could see with your Aperfect sEight
BIf you don't remember you can be excused
F#m'Cause it could never Abe reEproduced
[chorus] + jam
