If The Stars Were Mine - Melody Gardot
Verse 1
[Gmaj13]If the stars were mine I'd give them all to [Em13]you
[Em13]I'd pluck them down right from the sky And leave it only blue
[D9]I would never let the sun forget To shine upon your face
[Gmaj13]So when others would have rain clouds [D9]You'd have only sunny days
[Gmaj13]If the stars were mine I'd tell you what I'd [Em13]do
[Db7]I'd put [C7]the stars [B7]right [Bb7]in a jar [D7]And give 'em all to [Gmaj13]you
Verse 2
[Gmaj13]If the birds were mine I'd tell them when to [Em13]sing
[Em13]I'd make them sing a sonnet When your telephone would ring
[D9]I would put them there inside the square Whenever you went out
[Gmaj13]So there'd always be sweet music [D9]Whenever you walk about
[Gmaj13]If the birds were mine I'd tell you what I'd [Em13]do
[Db7]I'd [C7]teach the [B7]birds such [Bb7]lovely [D7]words And make 'em sing [Gmaj13]for you
[Db7]I'd [C7]teach the [B7]birds such [Bb7]lovely [D7]words And make 'em sing [Gmaj13]for you
Verse 3
[Gmaj13]If the world was mine I'd paint it gold and [Em13]green
[Em13]I'd make the oceans orange For a brilliant color scheme
[D9]I would color all the mountains Make the sky forever blue
[Gmaj13]So the world would be a painting [D9]And I'd live inside with you
[Gmaj13]If the world was mine I'd tell you what I'd [Em13]do
[Db7]I'd wrap[C7] the world[B7] in [Bb7]ribbons And[D7] then give it all to [Gmaj13]you
[Db7]I'd [C7]teach the [B7]birds such [Bb7]lovely [D7]words And make 'em sing for [Gmaj13]you
Slow down
[Db7]I'd put [C7]those [B7]stars right[Bb7] in a [D7]jar and Give them all to [Gmaj13]you
