Constellations Uke tab by Jack Johnson

# Jack usually plays this a half-step higher

G
The light was leaving and the west it was blue
     C                    G
The children's laughter sang

And skipping just like the stones they threw
       C
Their voices echoed across the way
              Am6
It's getting late

G      F           C
It was just another night
       D
With a sunset
      G        F         C
And a moonrise not so far behind
            D
To give us just enough light
    G        F             C
To lay down underneath the stars
         D
Listen to papa's translations
G       F                C
Of the stories across the sky
             D
We drew our own constellations

G
The west winds often last too long
     C                                         G
The wind may calm down nothing ever feels the same

Sheltered under the Kamani tree
C                        G
Waiting for the passing rain

Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
C                                G
Stars above us chasing the day away

To find the stories that we sometimes need
C
Listen close enough
                       Am6
All else fades, fades away


G      F           C
It was just another night
       D
With a sunset
      G        F         C
And a moonrise not so far behind
            D
To give us just enough light
    G        F             C
To lay down underneath the stars
         D
Listen to papa's translations
G       F                C
Of the stories across the sky
             D
