Topic: "Tell Me Why The Stars Do Shine . . ."
Here is an old, old traditional romantic lullaby not indexed by chordie. Couldn't find the chords anywhere on the web, so I just figured them out. Here it is - just in time for Valentine's Day!
By the way - it is OK to post this song in its entirety here on chordie since it has been out of copyright for many decades. . .
Tell Me WhyTraditional Lullaby, in 6/8 time
[G]Tell me [Em]why the [C]stars do [G]shine,
[G]Tell me [Em]why the [D]ivy [D7]twines,
[G]Tell me [Em]why the [C]sky is so [G]blue,
[Em]And I will [C]tell you just [D]why I [D7]love [G]you.
. . . .
[G]Because God [Em]made the [C]stars to [G]shine,
[G]Because God [Em]made the [D]ivy [D7]twine,
[G]Because God [Em]made the [C]sky so [G]blue,
[Em]Because God [C]made you, is [D]why I [D7]love [G]you!
. . . .
[G]I really [Em]think that dear [C]God a-[G]bove,
[G]Created [Em]you just for [D]me to [D7]love,
[G]He picked you [Em]out from [C]all the [G]rest,
[Em]Because he [C]knew that I'd [D]love you [D7]the [G]best.
. . . .
Here's a decidedly non-romantic extra verse . . .
[G]Nuclear [Em]fusion makes [C]stars to [G]shine,
[G]Tropisms [Em]make the [D]ivy [D7]twine,
[G]Raleigh [Em]scattering make [C]skies so [G]blue,
Tes-[Em]ticular [C]hormones are [D]why I [D7]love [G]you.
