    D            C
I traveled to a distant shore
   G             D
I felt I had to go

An inner voice had called me there
But why I did not know

I saw the evening star rise up
Shining out to sea

     D           C                   A#
And now I understand at last what it means
What it all means

Chorus:
G         D  C              D
Evening star I can see the light
Evening star guiding me so bright

Am
I used to tempt fate
C
I couldn't see straight
F                      C       G
I faltered through my younger days
Am
Never knowing
C
where I was going
      F         E              C     G  Am
Then something helped me penetrate the haze

Chorus

Now I am stronger
The haze no longer
Will veil my future destiny
Such inspirations
and new sensations
Though nothing strange has changed in me

Chorus

     D                    C
I'm home once more, much better for
      G                 D
The things that I have found

Much wiser now, so simple how
Each time I turn around

I see the evening star rise up
Shining out on me

And now I understand at last what it means
What it all means

Chorus - x4
