Rising Star Ab C# Ab Baby, this letter might be hard to read Bb7 Eb But I’ve got a strong need to get it all down Ab C# Ab It’s noon and I’m lyin’ on the bunk in the back of the bus Bb7 Eb I got thinkin’ about us while I’m bouncing around C# Cm Fm The rising star just ridin’ along with the rest of the guys Bb7 Eb Smoking and gettin’ high like he does each trip C# Cm Fm ‘Bout two o’clock he’ll say I think I’ll sip some crow Bb7 Eb By the time of the show the rising star will be ripped Ab C# Ab Later on when the job is done we’re back on the bus Bb7 Eb He’ll turn to the guys and smile in a funny way C# Ab And say tell me once again how good I played C# Ab C# Ab And they call him the rising star and they say he’s gonna go far F# Eb7 But each night he gets far (?) he ever believed Ab C# Ab Something inside me grieves cause sure as hell one day C# Ab They say the rising star will fade away Last night the rising star got lost with a girl for an hour or so Barely made the shoe, kinda stumbled on Forgot the words to the song he wrote about his wife Said guess that’s life but I was wrong Cause every night when I go on I’m the rising star Me and my guitar start to get it on Living is when they stand and cheering and call my name But I’ll try to change before too long Something about the here and now said drop a line To say I’m fine but I’d like to say not every rising star fades away And they call me the rising star, baby I’m gonna go far With you beside me I swear by the pen in my hand I’ll be damned if you ever gone to see the day That drunken, stoned and all alone, You’ll see this rising star fade away by: José Duarte jtduarte1@gmail.com
