Intro: E F#m A B E
(pause) E
I saw a starfish on the ground
F#m
He was half buried in the sand
A B
Just so out of place and ahh
(pause) E
He was a long, long way from home
I was a long, long way from home
And so we talked a little while
Then I shook his hands....and I
I was a long, long way from home
(Pause) A
And everything is wonderful
E
When everything's alright so alright
F#m A
There we were
(pause) E
One less star tonight
E F#m
Na na na na na na na
A B E
Na na na na na na
(Repeat)
We thought a better place to go
Might be the top of purple mountains
So close to outer space....and ahh
We were a long, long way from home
We'd bring some records and a game
Might take a walk or read a book
But it's not the same....no ahh
We're still a long long way from home
(Chorus)
(pause) E
I saw a starfish on the ground
F#m
Oh, he was still buried in the sand
A
Now he's not so all alone
B
And he's finally going home
E
So I smiled and I shook his hands....and we were singin'
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
(Repeat)
F#m A E
There we were one less star tonight
F#m A
There we were one more star tonight
