Here is an oldie and a goodie.  Enjoy. 
 
Shooting Star 
Harry Chapin    (klr) 
 
Em
He was crazy, of course 
          C      
>From the first she must have known it 
    D                 Bm
But still she went on with him 
        G              Em
And she never once had shown it 
            
And she took him off the street 
        C
And she dried his tears of grieving 
    D               Bm
She listened to his visions 
       G                Em
She be lieved in his be lieving 
C
He was the sun burning bright and brittle 
    D
And she was the moon shining back his light a little 
C
He was a shooting star 
Bm
She was softer and more slowly 
   A
He could not make things possible 
    C                              Em
But she could make them holy, Holy  
Em
He was dancing to some music 
       C
No one else had ever heard 
     D                Bm
He'd speak in unknown languages 
              G               Em
And she would translate every word 

And when the world was laughing 
       C
At his castles in the sky 
      D               Bm
She'd hold him in her body 
         G                Em
Until he once again could fly 
C
He was the sun burning bright and brittle 
    D
And she was the moon shining back his light a little 
C
He was a shooting star 
Bm
She was softer and more slowly 
   A
He could not make things possible 
    C                              Em
But she could make them holy, Holy  
    G                           D
She gave him a daughter and she gave him a son 
          Bm
She was a mother and a wife 
      Em
And a lover when the day was done 
          G
He was to far gone for giving love 
        D
What he offered in its stead 
        Bm
Was the knowledge she was the only thing 
     Em             G    D Em
That was not in his head   
Em
He took off east one morning 
            C
Towards the rising sun's red glow 
    D                 Bm
She knew he was going nowhere 
       G                  Em
But of course she let him go 
                           
And as she stood and watched him dwindle 
         C
Much too empty to be sad 
   D             Bm
He reappeared be side her 
               G             Em
Saying "You're all I've ever had" 
C
He was the sun burning bright and brittle 
    D
And she was the moon shining back his light a little 
C
He was a shooting star 
Bm
She was softer and more slowly 
   A
He could not make things possible 
    C                              Em
But she could make them holy, Holy
