D6
   Don't feel bad 
        Gm7      C7
Cos the sun went down

So now the stars ap-pear as they do

 ----------

a note to beginners:
You *can play a D chord wherever it says D6 or Dmaj7, but it sounds so much 
prettier with the extensions as written. Don't be shy about those bar chords on 
Gm7 and C7, either! You're going to learn them sooner or later.
