CONSTELLATIONS JACK JOHNSON
Capo 1st Fret
G F C D ( x 2 )
G C ( x 2 )
Verse:
G
The light was leaving in the west it was blue
C
The child..ren's laughter sang
G
And skipping just like the stones they threw
C
Their voi..ces echoed across the way
D7
It's getting late....
Chorus:
G F C
And it was just another night
D7 G
With a sunset and a moonrise
F C D7 G
Not so far behind to give us just enough light
F C
To lay down underneath the stars
D7 G
listen to papa's translations
F C
Of the stories across the skies
D7 G
We drew our own constellations
G C ( x 2 )
The west winds often last too long
The wind may calm down nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep movin' to uncover the scene
stars above are chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough all else fades
... fades away
Chorus
G F C
And it was just another night
D7 G
With a sunset and a moonrise
F C D7 G
Not so far behind to give us just enough light
F C
To lay down underneath the stars
D7 G
We listened to all the translations
F C
Of the stories across the skies
D7 G
We drew our own constellations
G F C D ( x 2 )
