Wandering Star by Portishead
Wandering Star
Am C F E7
Please could you stay awhile to share my grief,
G E
For it's such a lovely day,
Am E
To have to always feel this way,
Am C F E7
& the time that I will suffer less,
G E Am ( E7 )
Is when I never have to wake
Am C
Wandering stars,
F E7
For whom it is reserved,
G E Am ( E7 )
The blackness of darkness, forever
(X2)
Am C F E7
Those who have seen the needles eye now tread,
G E Am E
Like a husk, from which all that was now has fled,
Am C F E7
& the masks, that the monsters wear,
G E Am
To feed, upon their prey
Am C
Wandering stars,
F E7
For whom it is reserved,
G E Am
The blackness of darkness, forever
(X2)
Am C
Doubled up inside,
F E7 G E Am E
Take awhile to share my grief,
Am C
Always doubled up inside,
F E7 G E Am ( E7 )
Taunted , cruel . . .
Am C
Wandering stars,
F E7
For whom it is reserved,
G E Am
The blackness of darkness, forever
(X2)

LYRICS:
Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For its such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
... Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
[INSTRUMENTAL]
(always) doubled up inside
Take awhile to shed my grief
(always) doubled up inside
Taunted, cruel.... ...
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
