Stardust

Nat King Cole

Tom: G

  G9      G      G7+    G         C9
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
 B7                              E     E-9    E     E7
Steals across the meadows of my heart.
 Am            Cm       G      G/F#    Em
High up in the sky the little stars climb,
 F#       F#7             D    Fdim  D7
Always reminding me that we're  a - part.

	G9      G        G7+      G   C9
You wandered down the lane and far away.
 B7                              E   E9  E   E7
Leaving me a song that will not die.
 Am              Cm          G  G/F# Em
Love is now the stardust of yes-ter-day,
    D7    Gdim      Am7  Cdim  G   Cm   G
The music  of  the years gone  by.

G7+   G   G9 Cm7    C     Am       C         F
Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night
 F7			   G      G/F#   Em  Bm7/5-    E7
Dreaming of a song.   The mel-o-dy haunts my reverie,
   Am7    E7  Fdim        Am7    Fdim   Am
And I am once again with you.
          D  Fdim  D7           D      G6     D+  G6
When our love was new, and each kiss an in-spi-ra-tion,
     A9           G    A7           G
But that was long ago; now my consolation
D7        Am7      C    D7     D
Is in the stardust of a song.

   Cm7    C     Am        C            F7
Beside a garden wall when stars are bright,
Fm7/9		     G   G/F#    Em  Bm7/5-            E7
You are in my arms; the nightingale tells his fairy tale
   Am7    E7       Fdim     Am7     Fdim     Am
Of par-a-dise where ro-ses grew.
		 D   A7  D7          G    G/F# Em   B  F#7   B7
Though I dream in vain, in my heart  it  will re-main:
   C		 C/B    E7  Am7
My stardust mel-o-dy
        D7     Cdim  Cº   G    Am7   Cm    G6
the memory of love's   re  -  frain.
