They’re like a star

Traditional
Key:F

Come all ye fair and ten-der maid-ens
7 -8 -9 9 9 -10 9 -9 -8 7
Take warn-ing how you court young men
-8 -8 -9 9 9 -10 9 -9 -8
They’re like a star
-9 7 -66 -5
of a sum-mer’s morn-ing
6 -6 -6 6 -6 7
First they ap-pear and then they’re gone.
-5 -6 7 -8 -8 7 -6 6

They’ll tell to you some loving story
They’ll swear to you their love is true
Straightway they’ll go and court another
And that’s the love that they had for you.

If I’d a known before I courted
That love it was such a killin’ thing
I’d lock my heart in a box of golden
And fastened it up with a silver chain.

O do you remember our days of courtin’
When your head lay upon my breast
You could make me believe with the falling of your eyes
That the sun rose in the west.

I wish I was a little sparrow
And I had wings and I could fly
I’d fly away to my own true lover
And when he speaks I won’t deny.

But I am not no little sparrow
I have no wings neither can I fly
I’ll sit right down in my grief and sorrow
And let my troubles pass me by.

Come all ye fair and tender maidens
Take warning how you court young men
They’re like a star of a summer’s morning
First they appear and then they’re gone.

In a- little cafe,

5 5 -5 -5 -5 4 -4 -4 5

7 7 7 7 -7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6
She was just sitting there gi-ving me looks,

6 6 4 -4 -4 5
that made my mouth wa-ter.

6 6 -6 -6 6 -6 -7 -6
So I started walking her way.

7 7 7 7 -7 7 -8 7
She belonged to bad man, Jo-se.

8 8 8 -8 -8 7 7 7 -7
And I knew, yes I- knew I should leave.

Come a- little bit closer,

7 7 7 -8
I’m all a-lone,

-8 -8 -8 7 -7 7
And the night is so long.

So we started to dance,
In my arms, she felt so inviting.
And I just couldn’t resist,
Just one little kiss so exciting.
Then I heard the guitar player say,
«Vamoose, Jose’s on his way.»
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run,
But then I heard her say,

REPEAT CHORUS

Then the music stopped,
When I looked the cafe was empty.
Then I heard Jose say,
«Man you know you’re in trouble plenty.»
So I dropped my drink from my hand,
And through the window I ran.
And as I rode away,
I could hear her say to Jose,

Blue is the colour of the sky, in the morning

Green is the colour of the sparklin’ corn
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise
That’s the time, that’s the time
I love the best.

v4.
Mellow is the feelin’ that I get
When I see her, mm hmm,
When I see her, uh huh,
That’s the time, that’s the time
I love the best.

So I pull the switch, the switch, the switch inside my head.

And I see black, black, green,

And I think of my ways,

No need to be sad.

4 -6 7 7 -6 -6 6
You think you own what-e-ver
6 -5 6 -4
land you land on.
4 -6 7 7 -6 -6 6
The Earth is just a dead thing
6 -5 -6
you can claim.
-6 -8 7 7 -6 -6
But I know e-very rock
6 6 -5 6 -4
and tree and crea-ture.
-4 -6 6 -5 6 -6 7
Has a life, has a spi-rit,
6 -6 -4
has a name.

4 -6 7 7 -6 -6 6
You think the on-ly peo-ple
6 -5 6 -4
who are peo-ple,
4 -6 7 7 -6 -6
are the peo-ple who look
6 6 -5 7
and think like you.
-6 -8 7 7 -6 -6 6
But if you walk the foot-steps
6 -5 6 -4
of a stran-ger.
-4 -6 6 -5
You’ll learn things you
6 -6 6 -5 -4 -5 -5
ne-ver knew, you ne-ver knew.

-6 7 -9 8 8 -8
Have you e-ver heard the
-8 7 -6 6 -6 7 -8
wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
8 -9 8 8 -8 -8 7
Or asked the grin-ning bob-cat
7 -6 7
why he grinned?
-6 7 -9 8 8 -8 -8 7
Can you sing with all the voi-ces
7 -8 7 -5
of the moun-tains?
-4 -5 6 -6 -6 6
Can you paint with all the
6 -5 -5 -4 6
co-lours of the wind?
-4 -5 6 -6 -6 6
Can you paint with all the
6 -5 -4 -5 -5
co-lours of the wind?

-4 -6 7 7 -6 -6
Come run the hid-den pine
6 6 -5 6 -4
trails of the for-est.
4 -6 7 7 -6
Come taste the sun-sweet
-6 6 6 -5 -6
ber-ries of the Earth.
-6 -8 7 7 -6 -6 6
Come roll in all the rich-es
6 -5 6 -4
all a-around you.
-4 -6 6 -5 6 -6 7
And for once, ne-ver wond-er
6 -6 -4
what they’re worth.

4 -6 7 7 -6 -6 6
The rain-storm and the ri-ver
6 -5 6 -4
are my bro-thers.
4 -6 7 7 -6 -6 6
The he-ron and the ot-ter
6 -5 7
are my friends.
-6 -8 7 7 -6 -6 6
And we are all con-nec-ted
6 -5 6 -4
to each o-ther.
-4 -6 6 -5 6 -6 6
In a cir-cle, in a hoop
-5 -4 -5 -5
that ne-ver ends.

-6 7 -9 8 8 -8
Have you e-ver heard the
-8 7 -6 6 -6 7 -8
wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
8 -9 8 8 -8 -8 7
Or let the ea-gle tell you
7 -6 7
where he’s been?
-6 7 -9 8 8 -8 -8 7
Can you sing with all the voi-ces
7 -8 7 -5
of the moun-tains?
-4 -5 6 -6 -6 6
Can you paint with all the
6 -5 -5 -4 6
co-lours of the wind?
-4 -5 6 -6 -6 6
Can you paint with all the
6 -5 -4 -5 -5
co-lours of the wind?

7 8 8 -8 7 -8 7 -5
How high will the sy-ca-more grow?
-4 -5 6 -6 6
If you cut it down,
-6 -7 -8 7 8 -8 7
then you’ll ne-ver kn-o-w.
-8 8 -9 8 8 -8
And you’ll ne-ver hear the
-8 7 -6 6 -6 7 -8
wolf cry to the blue corn moon.
-6 7 -9 8 8 -8
For whe-ther we are white
-8 7 7 -8 7
or cop-per skin-ned.
-6 7 -9 8 8 -8 -8 7
Can you sing with all the voi-ces
7 -8 7 -5

-4 -5 6 -6 -6 6
Can you paint with all the
6 -5 -4 -5 -5
co-lours of the wind?

-5 -4 6 -6 -6 6 6
You can own the Earth and still,
-5 6 -6 7 -6 7 -8
all you’ll own is Earth un-til,
7 -8 -9 8 -8
you can paint with all
7 -6 6 -5 -4 -5
the co-lours of the wind.

This is my first tab. I’m still not great at the harp, but I’m
getting there. Anyway, this is the beginning to Colorshow by The Avett
Brothers and it’s pretty simple. It sounds pretty much right.
