EVERYBODY IS A STAR (1970)


Bb             Am7 
Everybody is a star
Ab                          Eb   Bb 
Who can rain, and chase the dust away
Bb                 Am7
Everybody wants to shine
Ab                    Eb      Bb 
Who'll come out, on a cloudy  day
Bb                          Am7
'Til the sun that loves you proud
Ab                       Eb        Bb      
When the system tries to bring you down
Bb                  Am7
Every hand to shine tonight
Ab                         Eb                   F      Em*, Dm*
You don't need darkness to do what you think is right, Eee - hee
C                          B7                            Em 
Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba,

Bb
Everybody is a star
I can feel it when you shine on me
I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be
Ever catch a falling star
Ain't no stopping 'til it's in the ground
Everybody is a star
One big circle going round and round

Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba, 
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba, 
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ba pa-pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba pa-pa ba ba ba, 
ba-pa ba-pa ba ba, shine, shine, shine, shine

(repeat and fade)
