Intro: C   F C  (7x) 

  F      C      F      C 
I lived along a rutted road 
          F          C           F     C 
Where the night time fell like a heavy load 
        F    C        F         C 
And the firmament was fixed and still 
 F        C       F      C 
Above the dark of Bunker Hill 
      G                  F      C 
Oh, I love the twinkling of the lights 
    G              F    C 
I'm watching for a satellite 


        F        C          F       C 
And the shooting stars fall way too fast 
         F       C                F     C 
And they burn so bright, and they never last 
        F       C       F       C 
And the planets pass as slow as death 
 F         C        F       C 
Across the sky from East to West 
      G                  F      C 
Oh, I love the twinkling of the lights 
    G              F    C 
I'm watching for a satellite 
      G                  F      C 
And I love the twinkling of the lights 
    G              F    C 
I'm watching for a satellite 


INTERLUDE: F C  (4x) 


Bridge: 
   Bb                        F 
No movement in that field of stars 
Bb                       C 
Set in time and distance far 
    Bb                     C 
And from horizon's edge, a light 
  F               C      G 
A spark of man in lonely flight
