STARDUST & RUST
JACK RIVER
SUGAR MOUNTAIN TRACK 8
These chords are adapted from the piano chords in the studio version - they're quieter in the
chorus but still fit well. Any bracketed chord is a ghost chord (optional to play) and * = one strum.
The riffs before the pre-chorus and in the outro are played simultaneously to the chords, so I've
tabbed them over the top of one another, though you can pick just one to play.
To make it easier, capo on 4 and play Em Dm C G (transpose -4).
[Verse 1]
G#m F#m
My mind burnt out like stardust
E B
On December one
G#m F#m
You stood there in the hallway
E B
Like moonlight on the run
G#m F#m
You said 'if the lights go out on New York
E B
The lights go out on us'
G#m F#m
And in seconds it was over
E B
Like stardust into rust
[Chorus]
G#m F#m
Didn't know your number
E B
I didn't even know your name
G#m F#m
But I'll be calling you from New York
E B
And hoping you feel the same
G#m F#m
And if the lights go out on New York
E B
The lights go out on us
G#m F#m
In seconds it will be over
E B
Like stardust into rust
G#m F#m E B

[Verse 2]
G#m* F#m*
Losing sleep to lucid dreams
E* (B)
When I'm walking in a field
G#m F#m
You were there, your wicked soul
E B
Wandering to me
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m F#
You haven't called and it's been hours
E B
You haven't written or sent flowers
G#m F#m
Oh God, did you think that
E B
It might just be too hard?
G#m F#m
Oh God, did you think that
E B
Or did you know it from the start?
[Chorus]
G#m F#m
Didn't know your number
E B
I didn't even know your name
G#m F#m
But I'll be calling you from New York
E B
And hoping you feel the same
G#m F#m
And if the lights go out on New York
E B
The lights go out on us
G#m F#m
In seconds it will be over
