Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 He was half buried in the sand

 Just so out of place and ahh

(pause)

 He was a long, long way from home

I was a long, long way from home

And so we talked a little while

Then I shook his hands....and I

I was a long, long way from home

(Pause)

 And everything is wonderful

 When everything's alright so alright

 There we were

(pause)

 One less star tonight

 Na na na na na na na

 Na na na na na na

(Repeat)

We thought a better place to go

Might be the top of purple mountains

So close to outer space....and ahh

We were a long, long way from home

We'd bring some records and a game

Might take a walk or read a book

But it's not the same....no ahh

We're still a long long way from home

(Chorus)

(pause)

 I saw a starfish on the ground

 Oh, he was still buried in the sand

 Now he's not so all alone

 And he's finally going home

 So I smiled and I shook his hands....and we were singin'

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

(Repeat)

 There we were one less star tonight
