B                    Em                        C
I stole a ride on a passing star not knowing where
        Am
I was going
     Em          D Em D
how near of how far.
B                               Em
Through year of light, lands of future and past
           C        Am         Em         D  Em D
until the heavenly gates were sighted at last

Chorus:
Em
Starrider, rider, rider
C
take me to the stars
Em
Starrider, rider, rider
C                    Em C
show me where you are

Northern lights flashed by
And then they were gone
And as old stars would die
So the new ones were born
And ever on I sailed
Celestial ways
And in the light of my years
Shone the rest of my days

Am        Em
Speed increasing
         F             B                  Em
All control is in the hands of those who know
 D                  C
Will they help us grow
   D              Em  C Em C
To one day be starrider

Chorus:
Starrider, rider, rider
Show me where you are
Starrider, rider, rider
Take me to the stars

Speed increasing
All control is in the hands of those who know
Will they help us grow
To one day be starrider
