Solo over:
|D5 |C5 |A5 |G5 |>8x

These lyrics on the 3rd and 4th time through the progression:

See the stars they're shining bright
Everything's all right tonight.
See the stars they're shining bright
Everything's all right tonight.


All credit goes to Craig Newnes, not me, I just submitted it because its a lot easier
to read than the others. Its a really easy song and this tab is extremely accurate.
Its only missing the solo, but the solo is easy to figure out, I'm much too lazy to
tab it out. Enjoy.
