Rising Star
G# C# G#
Baby, this letter might be hard to read
Bb7 D#
But I�ve got a strong need to get it all down
G# C# G#
It�s noon and I�m lyin� on the bunk in the back of the bus
Bb7 D#
I got thinkin� about us while I�m bouncing around
C# Cm Fm
The rising star just ridin� along with the rest of the guys
Bb7 D#
Smoking and gettin� high like he does each trip
C# Cm Fm
�Bout two o�clock he�ll say I think I�ll sip some crow
Bb7 D#
By the time of the show the rising star will be ripped
G# C# G#
Later on when the job is done we�re back on the bus
Bb7 D#
He�ll turn to the guys and smile in a funny way
C# G#
And say tell me once again how good I played
C# G# C# G#
And they call him the rising star and they say he�s gonna go far
F# D#7
But each night he gets far (?) he ever believed
G# C# G#
Something inside me grieves cause sure as hell one day
C# G#
They say the rising star will fade away
Last night the rising star got lost with a girl for an hour or so
Barely made the shoe, kinda stumbled on
Forgot the words to the song he wrote about his wife
Said guess that�s life but I was wrong
Cause every night when I go on I�m the rising star
Me and my guitar start to get it on
Living is when they stand and cheering and call my name
But I�ll try to change before too long
Something about the here and now said drop a line
To say I�m fine but I�d like to say not every rising star fades away
And they call me the rising star, baby I�m gonna go far
With you beside me I swear by the pen in my hand
I�ll be damned if you ever gone to see the day
That drunken, stoned and all alone, You�ll see this rising star fade away
