Verse 1:
                           G
	If you never rode West of
                     D 
	The Arizona border
                                G 
	You can turn the other way,boy
                          C/G 
	But you never get far
                         G
	You be living a lie
                             C/G 
	If you wanna see the wonders of the age
                  G
	You must follow 
      D               G 
	The evening star


Chorus:
                  G
	Evening star
                                    C/G
	Shine a little Heaven on a stranger with no dream
                  D
	Where you are

	You can see the loneliness i mean
                        G           D
	And if i gotta fight,i can never play
         G       C/G     G  
	Somebody else's game
                         D         G
	I can follow the evening star
                       D          G       C/G     G       
	Starlight,you never need somebody else's name
                          D         G 
	If you follow the evening star


Verse 2:
                               G                         
	Have you ever known a sunset
                           D
	When the sky's on fire
                             G 
	How you end another day,boy
                             C/G
	You be searching too far
                           G
	Like the desert i rode on
                       C/G 
	Any memory is lost in the restless wind
                G
	I just lie beneath 
      D               G
	The evening star


Chorus.


Verse 3: (A tone higher)
                              A 
	Have you ever held a woman
                           E
	In the California moonlight
                             A 
	Put your money on a good night
                            D
	If you never been there
                          A 
	It's a sight for sore eyes
                              D  
	If you wanna see the wonders of the age
                A
	Making love beneath
      E               A 
	The evening star
