Jack Johnson - Constellations

capo 1st fret
when playing A G in the verses , you can hammer on the 5th fret of the high E
string some to make it sound better

G
the light was leaving and the west it was blue
C
the children’s laughter sang
G
and skipping just like the stones they threw
C
their voices echoed across the way
Dsus2
it’s getting late

G F C
it was just another night
D
with a sunset
G F C
and a moonrise not so far behind
D
to give us just enough light
G F C
to lay down underneath the stars
D
listen to papa’s translations
G F C
of the stories across the sky
D
we drew our own constellations

G
the west winds often last too long
C
the wind may calm down nothing ever feels the same
G
sheltered under the kamani tree
C
waiting for the passing rain
G
clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
C
stars above us chasing the day away
G
to find the stories that we sometimes need
C
listen close enough
Dsus2
all else fades , fades away

G F C
it was just another night
D
with a sunset
G F C
and a moonrise not so far behind
D
to give us just enough light
G F C
to lay down underneath the stars
D
listen to papa’s translations
G F C
of the stories across the sky
D
we drew our own constellations
