Intro 1

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

Interlude 1

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