Intro: D
D                        Em         
 Shadows darken and the day is done
F#m              G
 And I cannot believe 
                                D    
 It's really true and you have gone
Em                       A       
 You were always here beside me

D                          Em            
 You gave so much as the Queen of Hearts
F#m                G
 To those without love
                                 D
 You were their voice when they could not speak
Em                     A
 A touch for the dying

            D                 Bm           
 And as we say goodbye I can hardly see
G         D          A
 For the tears in my eyes
D                        Bm
 You are shining like a million suns
                G              A        D
 And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight

D                       Em
 I wonder if you ever knew
F#m                 G
 How much you were loved
                           D
 And in the darkness of a lonely room
Em                     A
 Were you empty inside?

D                                   Em
 And as you fade away, it's like a light
F#m                 G
 Has gone from the world
                             D
 But I am sure that there is a place
Em                               A
 Where you will burn on forever

            D                  Bm
 And as we say goodbye, I can hardly see
G         D          A
 For the tears in my eyes
D                        Bm
 You are shining like a million suns
                G              A        D    Bm  
 And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight
                G              A        D
 And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight
