Willie Nelson

Written by Bob Wills

Key of C · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

C                              F
Twilight falls evening shadows find
G7                                      C
There 'neath the stars a maiden so fair divine
                                            F
Lonely there she kneels and tells the stars above
             C             F        C
In her heart is a song and there it belongs
            G7      C
Her undying song of love

Verse 2

                                   F
Every word reveals an empty broken heart
G7                                   C
Broken by fate that held them so far apart
                                   F
Stars on high seemed to know she's there
             C             F        C
In her heart is a song and there it belongs
            G7      C
Her undying song of love

Verse 3

                                   F
Every word reveals an empty broken heart
G7                                   C
Broken by fate that held them so far apart
                                   F
Stars on high seemed to know she's there
             C             F        C
In her heart is a song and there it belongs
            G7      C
Her undying song of love
