Topic: How Do I Take The Stars Out Of Your Eyes Tonite

How Do I Take The Stars Out Of Your Eyes Tonite

Chorus…
G                                                 C
How do I take the stars out of your eyes tonite
       G                                                 D            D7
And how do I pinch a burning flame that shines so bright
       G                                                             C
And how do I say the words when you think that everything`s alright
           G                       D                       D7       G
Honey how do I take the stars out of your eyes tonite

G                                                   C
All the precious times together some good and even bad
         G                                                 D
And I know we`ve had some tough times maybe even sad
         G                                                    C
And I knew that I could count on you at the end of every day
      G                         D                       G
But in my heart these words are hard to say..so..

Chorus…
How do I take the stars out of your eyes tonite
And how do I pinch a burning flame that shines so bright
And how do I say the words when you think that everything`s alright
Honey how do I take the stars out of your eyes tonite

               G                                     C
I`ve been sitting here and thinking of ways to make you cry
          G                                      D
And it almost seems impossible no matter how I try
              G                                                   C
And is it right to say the things you want when someone feels the pain
       G                               D                        G
And that`s why it`s hard to say these words again..so.

Chorus..

Re: How Do I Take The Stars Out Of Your Eyes Tonite

hi roger thanx for the response,as you see i have to keep the chords simple as i explained b4.all my songs were in the key of G as thats what i knew so i tried to go to a different key for the last song.i found that A was the next easiest to get.you guys have put me in the mood to learn the guitar properly, i am feeling a bit out of my depth with the guitar. i try to transpose everybodies song to the key of G to get a bit of a feel for the way your songs should work out.sometimes it`s ok but sometimes it`s like reading chinese.oh the post u did on me i don`t mind i thought i sent it to this message board in the first place.thanx again.

Hi wmcdrum - This is a dandy lyric - rather cryptic at first but then the meaning becomes readily apparent. Well done and I look forward to getting to know you.  James

I think a capo would be a nice investment for you. You can play the same chord shapes while changing the key your songs are in from song to song.
If you capo the 2nd fret and play your G shape progression you are now playing in the key of A, thus;
Fret       Key
3            A#
4             B
5             C
6             C#
7             D
8             D#
9             E               etc

When placing a capo on your guitar you'll want to get the capo as high(towards the hole in the guitar) in the fret zone as possible(without touching fret) All guitars are different so a slight angle may be needed in the capo placement. You'll know when you find the sweet spot.

Peace and Guitars,
