Aadd9 DMajSus2 - play around with this

[Aadd9]I've got stars in my great big sky
Aadd9 DMajsus2(hold)
I shall gaze upon without leaving small ones behind
Because they're harder to find[Aadd9]
[Aadd9]Some were satellites, others planes
Aadd9 DMajsus2(hold)
Some were twinkling while others were fading away
But they're all one of a kind[Aadd9]

[E]Oh it's not that interesting
[E]But I'd like to keep it a secret[F#m]
[F#m]So I'll have[Dsus2] something left to give[Aadd9]
[DMajsus2]It's not that difficult when you've got a luck of this kind[Aadd9]
[DMajsus2]We've got to take advantage, we've got such limited time[Aadd9]
[DMajsus2]Oh I wonder, oh I wonder
[DMajsus2]How long to take me to die[Aadd9]
Oh it's[E] not that interesting
But I'd[E] like to keep it a secret[F#m]
So I'll have[Dsus2] something left to give

-Go back to beginning riff in A


[Aadd9]And I'll hear my children and grandchildren sing
[Dsus2]Blah la la la da da da
[Dsus2]Blah la la la da da da[Aadd9]
[Dsus2]Blah la la la da da da
[Dsus2]Blah la la la da da da[Aadd9]

Played through 3 times DMaj7

[E]It's not that interesting but I'd like to keep it a secret[F#m]
[F#m]So I'll have something left to give
[E]In my remaining years
[E]When I am old and plain lazy[F#m]
[F#m]I'll have a little something left to give
[E]To all those who loved me so much
[E]I'd like to return the favor[DMaj7]
And have something left to give

[Aadd9]And I'll hear my children and grandchildren sing
[Dsus2]Blah la la la da da da
[Dsus2]Blah la la la da da da[A]

It's not that difficult when you've got a luck of this kind
[Dsus2]Blah la la la da da da
[Dsus2]Blah la la la da da da[A]

--Lead part comes in over this last part a few times. It gets real
Full from this point forward. Play the tonality if it's just one guitarist

To all those who loved me so much, I'd like to return the favor

Blah la la la da da da

Blah la la la da da da

I wonder oh i wonder, how long to take me to die

Blah la la la da da da

Blah la la la da da da

It's not that interesting but I'd like to keep it a secret

And have something left to give

Pick through the Aadd9 Chord. It would also help to have about 3 guitarists.
