G D
Well the night goes on forever when you try to make it last
D D7
We were passing time together, just laying in the grass
G
And we looked up at the heaven and we saw the worlds collide
D
We were lying still and watching, they were flying through the sky
Chorus:
G D
The stars in Oklahoma
G A
Never seen a night so cool and clear
G D
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
A D
Burn so bright then they disappear
Well the moonlight has a way of throwing shadows on the night
It would be a shame to waste it on a place we had to hide
With the morning glowing bright and shining light upon our faces
We faded with the dawning then we went our separate ways
Chorus 2:
G D
'Neath the stars in Oklahoma
G A
Never seen a night so cool and clear
G D
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
A Bm
They shine so bright, then they disappear
Bridge:
G
Ah the stars in Oklahoma and the banks in late September
D
And I lead you through the darkness on a night you won't remember
G
Is everyone that easy, do they all just play the fool
A G
Are they all just out here lookin' for a way to break the rules
Instrumental
Well it would take a fool to say it, like a photograph o' grace
Fools need supervision or a gift for saving face
Yeah, we got it on a handshake, bought it for a song
Yeah, chase a simple feeling for doing something wrong
Chorus 3:
'Neath the stars in Oklahoma
Never seen a night so cool and clear
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
Shine so bright, then they disappear
Shine so bright, then they disappear
