Intro:  D  Bm 

    D                      Bm 
    Ev'ry man, has a flaming star 
      Bm                         G 
    a flaming star, over his shoulder 
                     D                   Bm 
    and when a man, sees his flaming star 
                        Em                      D 
    He knows his time, his time has come 

    D                                             Bm 
    Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star 
    D                                          Bm 
    Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star 
                  Em 
    There's a lot of livin' I've got to do 
                Em 
    Give me time to make a few dreams come true 
                Bm 
    Flaming star 

    When I ride, I feel that flaming star 
    That flaming star, over my shoulder 
    and so I ride, front of that flaming star 
    Never lookin' around, never lookin' around 
    Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star 
    Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star 
    There's a lot of livin' I've got to do 
    Give me time to make a few dreams come true 
    Flaming star 
    One fine day, I'll see that flaming star 
    That flaming star, over my shoulder 
    and when I see, that old flaming star 
    I'll know my time, my time has come 
    Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star 
    Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star 
    There's a lot of livin' I've got to do 
    Give me time to make a few dreams come true 
    Flaming star
