Verse 1
Dancin' where the stars go blue
Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown
Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?
Chorus 1
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
the stars go blue the stars go blue
the stars go blue
Verse 2
Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby
Chorus 2
Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
the stars go blue the stars go blue the stars go blue
The stars go blue the stars go blue the stars go blue
the stars go blue
Fun fact
Ryan Adam’s ”When the Stars Go Blue” is a beautiful song that captures the bittersweet beauty of fleeting moments and fading memories. Adam’s vocal has a certain ”nerve” and vulnerability, which is adding more emotion and atmosphere to the recording.
This song is played with a capo on the 3rd fret, and that enables us to play that beautiful V chord (Dadd4), keeping an open G string in the middle to create some beautiful tension. Enjoy jamming along to this great ballad!
