                      METEORS - John McCutcheon
---------------------------------------------------------------

VERSE 1:
D                     A          D
On the night when the stars come down
   D                 G
We camp there in the meadow
D                 A         D
Far away from the lights of town
  D                    A
Beneath the mountain’s shadow

CHORUS
    D                 G          D
The sky is alive on a mid-summer night
D          G          A
Before the moon comes rising
D                           G          D
Stars will dance with their ribbons of light
D                 A     G
Stretching to the far horizon

VERSE 2:
D           A        D
Silent in a field of grass
   D                G
We lie so still for hours
    D             A        D
The August sky is shooting past
        D                    A
And the night comes down in showers

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Bm
Far away the ships at sea
Bm                A
Plot their lonely courses
Bm
Looking homeward just like me
Bm          G        A
To heaven’s star-lit forces

INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS

VERSE 3:
D                  A        D
Once a year in the midnight dark
   D                 G
We watch the stars a-fallin’
   D               A             D
We see the sky all streaked with sparks
       D                A
And we hear the heavens callin’
