Intro 1

G#m

Verse 1
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Up on a hill, as the day dissolves
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
With my pencil turning moments into line
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
High above in the violet sky
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
A silent silver plane, it draws a golden chain
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
One by one, all the stars appear
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
As the great winds of the planet spiral in
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Spinning away, like the night sky at Arles
G#m G#m 
 
In the million insect storm,
E E 
 
the constellations form
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
On a hill, under a raven sky
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
I have no    idea exactly what I've drawn
B B 
 
Some kind of change,
F# F# 
 
some kind of spinning away
G#m G#m 
 
With every single line
E E 
 
moving further out in time

Interlude 1

G#m

Outro 1
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
And now as the pale moon rides
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
in the stars, in the stars
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Her form in my pale blue lines
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
in the stars, in the stars
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
And there, as the world rolls round
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
in the stars, in the stars
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
I draw, but the lines move round
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
in the stars, in the stars
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
And there, as the great wheels blaze
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
in the stars, in the stars
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
I draw, but my drawing fades
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
in the stars, in the stars
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
And now, as the old sun dies
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
in the stars, in the stars
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
I draw, and the four winds sigh
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 
in the stars, in the stars
