G
If you never rode West of
   D
The Arizona border
         G
You can turn the other way,boy
     C/G
But you never get far
     G
You be living a lie
        C/G
If you wanna see the wonders of the age
 G              D
You must follow 
     G
The evening star
Chorus
  G
Evening star
               C/G
Shine a little heaven on a stranger with no dream
 D
Where you are you can see the loneliness I mean
      G          D             G
And if I gotta I can never play
  C/G   G
Somebody else's game
      D       G
I can follow the evening star
  D        G    C/G    G
Starlight,you never need somebody else's name
        D       G
If you follow the evening star
         G
Have you ever known a sunset
      D
When the sky's on fire
       G
How you end another day,boy
        C/G
You be searching too far
       G
Like the desert I rode on
    C/G
Any memory is lost in the restless wind
  G                D
I just lie beneath 
     G
The evening star
Chorus

       A
Have you ever held a woman
        E
In the California moonlight
        A
Put your money on a good night
         D
If you never been there
         A
It's a sight for sore eyes
        D
If you wanna see the wonders of the age
A                  E
Making love beneath
    A
The evening star
Chorus bis: (A Tone Higher)

And if I gotta I will never play

If you follow the evening star
