Star Tears
Original tune (just lyrics).
| Am | F | G |
| Star tears are | falling, | falling |
| Am | F | G |
| As the last of a | planet | dies. |
| Am | F | G |
| Last vendetta of their | culture | calling. |
| Am | G | C |
| I see the look in | my old | lover's eyes. |
| Am | F | G |
| Contraband, | torture, | suffering, |
| Am | F | G |
| I mend fragile wings, but I | can't mend | lives. |
| Am | F | G |
| There's a way, | I hear it | whispering. |
| Am | G | Am |
| Something will fill our | empty | lives. |
| Am | F | G |
| Star tears are | falling, | falling |
| Am | F | G |
| As the last of a | planet | dies. |
| Am | F | G |
| Last vendetta of their | culture | calling. |
| Am | G | C |
| I see the look in | my old | lover's eyes. |
| Am | F | G |
| A starship comes with | unexpected | guests; |
| Am | F | G |
| Both friend and foe come to | see the | skies. |
| Am | F | G |
| Four movie stars, | a prince, | an invalid. |
| Am | G | Am |
| Unlucky forture and | fate's | designs. |
| Am | F | G |
| Star tears are | falling, | falling |
| Am | F | G |
| As the last of a | planet | dies. |
| Am | F | G |
| Last vendetta of their | culture | calling. |
| Am | G | C |
| I see the look in | my old | lover's eyes. |
| Am | F | G |
| Holding wonder, | an inch away, | bartering, |
| Am | F | G |
| If I can make it | I can save | their lives. |
| Am | F | G |
| I feel the wings | against my heart | fluttering. |
| Am | G | Am |
| There's a last breath | as she says | goodbye. |
| Am | F | G |
| Star tears are | falling, | falling |
| Am | F | G |
| As the last of a | planet | dies. |
| Am | F | G |
| Last vendetta of their | culture | calling. |
| Am | G | C |
| I see the look in | my old | lover's eyes. |
| Am | F | G |
| I never hoped to | reverse our | fortunes |
| Am | F | G |
| Though I had hopes | I could not | disguise. |
| Am | F | G |
| A hint of brightness | to light our | way through life. |
| Am | G | Am |
| I see their faces | in the | starry skies. |
| Am | F | G |
| Star tears are | falling, | falling |
| Am | F | G |
| As the last of a | planet | dies. |
| Am | F | G |
| Last vendetta of their | culture | calling. |
| Am | G | C |
| I see the look in | my old | lover's eyes. |
