G I hope you don't mind if I send you a thought C G/B Am7 You're still the special person for me G I know I should reserve that feeling for her C G/B Am7 But I have fallen down a well of longing C Bm Em I'm in a valley deep inside the earth Am7 Am I'm in a rich vein of learning C Bm Em I'm stuck still in the depth of the mud F C Just God and tree and star for the journey So listen friend you've got my love and respect Do you believe in the life eternal? I've got a feeling we'll be talking tonight Because I knew you when we were so little I knew you when I was a queer fish You were the one they all wanted I showered you with my light from afar F C Now everyone is following you G You're the evening star Chorus: Em So many forces are pushing A Bm Em How do you stay so calm? C If I could master an hour of your peace Bm A# Am G Maybe I would know how to let this go I messed up on the practical side I can't believe all the trouble it caused me I tried to make up on the spiritual side My web of prayers and advice implore you To live happy in the best way you can To live with or without me And if I feel like I am wasting my time I'll write another letter to sing to the evening star Am7 Evening sta-a-ar Am G I'll write another letter to her Am7 Evening sta-a-ar Am G I'll write another letter to her Am7 Evening sta-a-ar Am Cm7 Cm Another letter to her You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  Am  Am7  B  Bm  C  Cm  Cm7  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
