Jason Robert Brown – Stars And The Moon chords
Chords:
I can't promise it's in the same key as Jason wrote it, as I don't have the sheet music a piano. But I wanted to play it so I've been singing with these chords and I really the sound. It's perfect in the lower soprano range as I have it tabbed here. Hopefully you'll like it, too!D AmI met a man without a dollar to his nameC Dwho had no traits of any value but his smileD AmI met a man who had no yearn or claim to fameC Dwho was content to let life pass him for a whileAm Emand I was sure that all I ever wantedC Amwas a life like the movie stars ledEm Aand he kissed me right here, and he saidD"I'll give you stars and the moon and a soul to guide youGand a promise I'll never go.DI'll give you hope to bring out all the life inside youGand the strength that will help you grow.DI'll give you truth and a future that's twenty times betterG Athan any Hollywood plot."A DAnd I thought, 'You know, I'd rather have a yacht.'D AmI met a man who lived his life out on the roadC Dwho left a wife and kids in Portland on a whimD AmI met a man whose fire and passion always showedC Dwho asked if I could spare a week to ride with himAm Embut I was sure that all I'd ever wantedC Amwas a life that was scripted and plannedEm AAnd he said, "But you don't understand...DI'll give you stars and the moon and the open highwayGand a river beneath your feet.DI'll give you days full of dreams if you travel my wayGand a summer you can't repeat.DI'll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure,G ANo strings, just warm summer rain."A DAnd I thought, 'You know, I'd rather have champagne.'D AmI met a man who had a fortune in the bankC Dwho had retired at age thirty, set for life.D AmI met a man and didn't know which stars to thank,C Dand then he asked one day if I would be his wife.Am EmAnd I looked up, and all I could think ofC Amwas the life I had dreamt I would live.Em AAnd I said to him, 'What will you give?'D"I'll give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay,Gand a fur and a diamond ring.DAnd we'll be married in Spain on my yacht todayGand we'll honeymoon in Beijing.DAnd you'll meet stars at the parties I throw at my villasG Ain Nice and Paris in June."Aand I thought, "Okay."CAnd I took a breath,Aand I got my yacht,Cand the years went by,Amand it never changed,Emand it never grew,Amand I never dreamed...EmAnd I woke one day,Cand I looked around,Aand I thought, 'My God....DI'll never have the moon.'
