If The Stars Were Mine - Melody Gardot

Verse 1
[Gmaj13] [Em13]
If the stars were mine I'd give them all to 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] [D9]
So when others would have rain clouds You'd have only sunny days
[Gmaj13] [Em13]
If the stars were mine I'd tell you what I'd do

I'd put the stars right in a jar And give 'em all to you
Verse 2
[Gmaj13] [Em13]
If the birds were mine I'd tell them when to 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] [D9]
So there'd always be sweet music Whenever you walk about
[Gmaj13] [Em13]
If the birds were mine I'd tell you what I'd do
[Db7] [C7] [B7] [Bb7] [D7] [Gmaj13]
I'd teach the birds such lovely words And make 'em sing for you
[Db7] [C7] [B7] [Bb7] [D7] [Gmaj13]
I'd teach the birds such lovely words And make 'em sing for you
[Verse Instrumental]
Verse 3
[Gmaj13] [Em13]
If the world was mine I'd paint it gold and 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] [D9]
So the world would be a painting And I'd live inside with you
[Gmaj13] [Em13]
If the world was mine I'd tell you what I'd do
[Db7] [C7] [B7] [Bb7] [D7] [Gmaj13]
I'd wrap the world in ribbons And then give it all to you
[Db7] [C7] [B7] [Bb7] [D7] [Gmaj13] --> Slow down
I'd teach the birds such lovely words And make 'em sing for you
[Db7] [C7] [B7] [Bb7] [D7] [Gmaj13]
I'd put those stars right in a jar and Give them all to you
