Across The Milky Way

 

Written by John Stewart.

 

This is the version from the "Teresa and the Lost Songs" CD, Homecoming Records, 1998.  John Stewart plays it in the key of D (first chord G).

(C) (G) (D) (G) 5x
If you are (D)lost as (G)in a (D)dream
And you(C) cannot (D)find your (G)way,(D)
(G)All the (D)reasons (G)you are (D)lost
Will (C)guide you (G)on your (D)way.
If you (C)turn them all to (D)stars
(C)Across the (D)milky (G)way,(D)
(G)Truly (D)they would (G)make
All the (C)night as (D)bright as (C)day.(G) (D) (G)
(C) (G) (D) (G) (C) (G) (D) (G)

Children (D)come and (G)children (D)go,
They´re not(C) children (D)any(G)more.(D)
(G)And all I (D)have are (G)photo(D)graphs,
I have(C) hundreds (G)on my (D)door.
And if I (C)turned them all to (D)stars
(C)Across the (D)milky (G)way,(D)
(G)Truly (D)they would (G)make
All the (C)night as (D)bright as (G)day,(D)
(G)Truly (D)they would (G)make
All the (C)night as (D)bright as (C)day.(G) (D) (G)
(C) (G) (D) (G) (C) (G) (D) (G) (C) (G) (D) (G)

If all the (D)hearts that the (G)spirit (D)loves
were(C) standing (D)side by (G)side,(D)
(G)They would (D)be for(G)ever (D)long
And(C) ten thousand (G)miles (D)wide.
(C)Turn them all to (D)stars
(C)Across the (D)milky (G)way,(D)
(G)Truly (D)they would (G)make
All the (C)night as (D)bright as (G)day,(D)
(G)Truly (D)they would (G)make
All the (C)night as (D)bright as (C)day.(G) (D) (G)
(C) (G) (D) (G) (C) (G) (D) (G) (C) (G) (D) (G) (C) (G) (D) (G)

The light that (D)shines in your (G)true love´s (D)eyes
(C)Also (D)shines in (G)you,(D)
(G)If we would (D)only (G)let it (D)shine,
The (C)promise (G)would come (D)true.
You could(C) turn us all to (D)stars
(C)Across the (D)milky (G)way,(D)
(G)Truly (D)they would (G)make
All the (C)night as (D)bright as (G)day,(D)
(G)Truly (D)they would (G)make
All the (C)night as (D)bright as (G)day,(D)
(G)Truly (D)they would (G)make
All the (C)night as (D)bright as (C)day.(G) (D) (G)
(C) (G) (D) (G) (C) (G) (D) (G) (C) (G) (D) (G) (C) (G) (D) (G)
