Rodney Crowell - Stars on the Water guitar chord

STARS ON THE WATER

Rodney Crowell

writer: Crowell

I saw him do this live on Austin City Limits. I'm not sure what album it's off of, but I know he wrote it.

Key of A

Capo II Fret

Intro

(G) Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by

Pirogue pole or your natural soul

Keeps you tied to a tree high tide

(Em)Beer joint lights come on

And then the (G) crowd starts rollin' in

Pretty soon you got (G) stars on the water

You got stars on the water

It's like (Em) stars on the water, (G) let it rain

(G) Beaumont to Biloxi

Sea breeze at your door

Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes

White silver sandy shore

(Em) "Blue Light" lounge is shinin'

(G) Way out on the pier

It looks just like (G) stars on the water

Just like stars on the water

Just like (Em) stars on the water, let it (G) rain

Solo

When it's (G) midnight down in Mobile

Moonbeams on the bay

They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down

And dig the good time sounds they play

(Em) All across the harbour

(G) Night lights shinin' in

It looks just like (G) stars on the water

Just like stars on the water

Just like (Em) stars on the water, let it (G) rain

It looks just like (G) stars on the water

Just like stars on the water

Just like (Em) stars on the water, let it (G) rain
