Our lady of the shooting star

Rescue Blues

       A
Oh the evening train is rolling
     D
All along the homeward way
       A
All my hopes are over the horizon
       A           E     A
All my dreams have gone away
    A
The hillside darkly shaded
      D
Stars fall from above
        A
All the joys of earth have faded
    A         E          A
The night's untouched by love

     D
I'll be here 'til tomorrow
  A
Beneath a shroud of grey
     D
I pretend I'm free of sorrow
   A              E
My heart is miles away

    A
The dead bells are ringing
   D
