G 
If you never rode West of 
      D 
The Arizona border 
               G 
You can turn the other way,boy 
         C/G 
But you never get far 
         G 
You be living a lie 
             C/G 
If you wanna see the wonders of the age 
   G                       D 
You must follow  
          G 
The evening star 
 
    G 
Evening star 
                     C/G 
Shine a little heaven on a stranger with no dream 
    D 
Where you are you can see the loneliness I mean 
         G           D                         G 
And if I gotta I can never play 
     C/G     G 
Somebody else's game 
         D         G 
I can follow the evening star 
   D          G       C/G     G 
Starlight,you never need somebody else's name 
           D         G 
If you follow the evening star 
                G 
Have you ever known a sunset 
           D 
When the sky's on fire 
              G 
How you end another day,boy 
              C/G 
You be searching too far 
           G 
Like the desert I rode on 
        C/G 
Any memory is lost in the restless wind 
  G                       D 
I just lie beneath  
         G 
The evening star 

              A 
Have you ever held a woman 
            E 
In the California moonlight 
             A 
Put your money on a good night 
              D 
If you never been there 
           A 
It's a sight for sore eyes 
            D 
If you wanna see the wonders of the age 
A                                 E 
Making love beneath 
        A 
The evening star 

  A 
Evening star 
                      D 
Shine a little Heaven on a stranger with no dream 
    E 
Where you are you can see the loneliness I mean 
         A            E                        A 
And if I gotta I will never play 
      D       A 
Somebody else's game 
         E         A 
I can follow the evening star 
       E          A       D       A 
Starlight,you never need somebody else's name 
           E         A 
If you follow the evening star
