A        E A       D    A    E  A      E 
Suddenly before my eyes hues of indigo arise, 
A             E  A      D      A         E        A 
with them how my spirit sighs, paint the sky with stars. 
 

A          E    A    D    A       E       A     E 
Only night will ever know why the heavens never show, 
A              E     A      D     A         E        A 
all the dreams there are to know, paint the sky with stars. 
 

D             A   D             A    E  A 
Who has paced the midnight sky? So a spirit has to fly. 
B7        A    B7               E        B7        E        D 
As the heavens seem so far, now who will paint the midnight star? 
 

A                 E  A         D      A    E           A      E 
Night has brought to those who sleep, only dreams they cannot keep, 
A        E     A      D     A         E        A 
I have legends in the deep, paint the sky with stars.

D             A   D             A    E  A 
Who has paced the midnight sky? So a spirit has to fly. 
B7        A    B7               E        B7        E        D 
As the heavens seem so far, now who will paint the midnight star? 
 

A            E A      D      A      E        A     E 
Place a name upon the night, one to set your heart alight, 
A           E   A        D       A         E        A 
and to make the darkness bright, paint the sky with stars.
