[Verse 1]
        C#m
I never knew you
    D        A/C#   Bm
But then who really did?
               F#m           E
If you were at all like me
    F#m                      Bm   
You managed to keep yourself hid
  B

  Bm                   E
A patchwork quilt of a life
D          A/C#
Memories embroidered
C  D      A
On   your soul


[Verse 2]
             C#m
So please forgive me
    D           A/C#  Bm
For putting you in my song
                   F#m        E
But the spirit she moves me
            F#m        Bm      B
In fact she pushes me along
       Bm                   E
It's a patchwork quilt of a life
D              A/C#   C
Can't stop the river

D            A
 Just let it roll


[Chorus]
        F#m
We were at Jones Beach
     E          A
When we got the word
F#m                   E      A
   Saddest sound that I ever heard
F#m                               
   The bluest note that nobody 
   B
could play
F#m                      E       
Ravens sang with us that night on
     A
 the stage
F#m                  E        A
   Tears of sadness, tears of rage
    F#m              D        
But nobody spoke, we all felt 
A/C#  C
old
D          (A)
 And in the way

[Verse 3]
         C#m
So walk beside me
    D        A/C#    Bm
Or above me, I don't know
              F#m          E
These days it sure seems
    F#m               B
I'm lost where ever I go


[Chorus]
F#m                   E          
God, how could you, I heard 
   A
someone say
F#m                           E  
   And what do we do with our 
          A
lives now anyway?
F#m                               
   Now that our North Star can no 
A         B
longer be found
              F#m            
But there's a banjo moon in a 
 E        A
tie-dyed sky
F#m                  E      A
   Hippies dance and babies cry
F#m                     
   Church bells ring as a 
                A     B
silver-haired angel look down
        D                  E  
And the blood of his music runs 
                       F#
through the veins of our guitars
        G      B
Bright lights, Dark Star
