The Light Outlives The Star Ukulele Chords

Capo 1st fret

C
There are stars so distant

F
The light that left 'em ages ago just came into

C
view

G7
That twinkling we're seeing now
May 

F
be from a star that burned out ages a-

C
go

G7
When I was 

C
young like you
Oh and that's the 

F
way
That's the way our 

C
people are
They ain't 

G7
gone long as they shine on

C
In our hearts
And just so we 

F
know
Right where they

C
are

G7
God lets the light outlive the 

C
star
The stars we see in the sky at night

F
Are there all day but they're lost in the sunlight

C
Without darkness, stars cannot shine

G7
As without sorrow, joy would be be-

C
nign
Oh and that's the 

F
way
That's the way our 

C
people are
They ain't 

G7
gone long as they shine on

C
In our hearts
And just so we 

F
know
They ain't gone a-

C
way too far

G7
God lets the light outlive the 

C
star

you
