     G#m   B*   E    D#m    F#    C#m
E|----4----x----0-----6-----2------4-------|

*I play the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings as a barre at the 4th fret
with my third finger, just don't pick or strum the 1st string!


The intro cycles twice round a chord progression of G#m, B, E, B
and I find the following picking pattern works quite well.

E|---------------------------------------------------|
B|------4----------4----------0----------4-----------|
G|------4----------4----------1----------4-----------|
D|----6----------4----------2----------4-------------|
A|-------------2------2--------------2------2--------|
E|--4------4--------------0------0-------------------|

This picking pattern also works well in the first verse, first interlude
and bridge.


Strumming pattern for chorus etc.

As always, this is not an exact science but this will hopefully get
you started.

[Intro]

G#m    B    E    B    x2


[Verse 1]

G#m          B
"Look at the sky" he said
E           B
"It's going by" he said
G#m      B              E        B
Halley's Comet won't be back for years

G#m        B
A spinning world I was
E        B
A little girl I was
G#m      B             E      B      D#m
Sure and honest hadn't tasted fear


[Chorus]

G#m         E          B    F#
What was it about that time?
     G#m              E      B   F#
That keeps me staring at the sky
G#m            E         B
Hoping someday I would find
       C#m      B
In the mystery
          F#               G#m
There's a place for me…to shine


[Interlude]

B    E    B    G#m    B    E    B


[Verse 2]

G#m        B
"Chase the dream" he said
E                 B
"You were born to sing" he said
G#m  B                   E        B
So I stepped out on that darkened stage

G#m      B
When the lights hit me
E    B
Fire hot lit me
G#m    B           E        B     D#m
In the spotlight a star was made


[Chorus]

G#m         E          B    F#
What was it about that time?
     G#m              E      B    F#
That keeps me hanging on the line
G#m            E         B
Hoping someday I would find
       C#m      B
In the mystery
          F#              G#m
There's a place for me…to shine


[Interlude]

B    E    B
            To shine
G#m    B    E    B
                   To shine
G#m    B    E    B
                   To shine
G#m    B    E    F#


[Bridge]

G#m       B
Spark and burn I will
E       B
Wait my turn I will
G#m       B
Trust the gravity
E         B       D#m
Trust the light


[Chorus]

G#m           E      B    F#
In the middle of the night
G#m             E      B  F#
I'll be staring at the sky
G#m            E         B
Hoping someday I would find
       C#m        B
In the mystery
        E         B
Waiting patiently
          C#m       F#
There's a place for me…to shine
