  			Am               Am          Am                Am 
I stood out here once before With my head held in my hands 
Am           Am                        Am            Am 
For all that I had known of this place I could never understand...  

Em     Bm        D               Em  D    Am       G     F           Am 
On the hills the fires burned at midnight   Superstition plagued the air 
Em         Bm     D             Em  D    Am        G       F        Am  
Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight stars are out and magic is here... 

   Am    Am    Am    

Am              Am            Am          Am 
I wished on the seven sisters Bring to me wisdom of age 
Am                    Am                    Am                Am 
All that's locked within the book of secrets I longed for the knowledge of a sage...

    Am        G       F        Am    Am    Am    Am    
The stars are out the magic is here...  

Am              Am                   Am                 Am 
So, the sisters smiled to themselves And they whispered as they shone  
Am         Am                     Am             Am 
And it was from that very instant I knew I would never be alone...

The stars are out and magic is here...

Still my sisters glittered down from heaven   Always there when I needed them most...
