Verse 1:
    D
Well the night goes on forever when you try to make it last
    D                     D7
We were passing time together, just laying in the grass
    G
And we looked up at the heaven and we saw the worlds collide
    D
We were lying still and watching, they were flying through the sky

Chorus:
  G      D
The stars in Oklahoma
       G         A
Never seen a night so cool and clear
     G      D
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
    A           D
Burn so bright then they disappear

Verse 2:
G    D
Well the moonlight has a way of throwing shadows on the night
     D                      D7
It would be a shame to waste it on a place we had to hide
     G
With the morning glowing bright and shining light upon our faces
  D
We faded with the dawning then we went our separate ways

Chorus:
      G      D
'Neath the stars in Oklahoma
       G         A
Never seen a night so cool and clear
     G      D
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
       A           Bm
They shine so bright, then they disappear

Bridge:
    G
Ah the stars in Oklahoma and the banks in late September
   D
And I lead you through the darkness on a night you won't remember
  G
Is everyone that easy, do they all just play the fool
     A                          G
Are they all just out here lookin' for a way to break the rules

    G   D
Well it would take a fool to say it, like a photograph o' grace
    D                  D7
Fools need supervision or a gift for saving face
     G
Yeah, we got it on a handshake, bought it for a song
   D
Yeah, chase a simple feeling for doing something wrong

Chorus:
      G      D
'Neath the stars in Oklahoma
       G         A
Never seen a night so cool and clear
     G      D
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
       A         Bm
Shine so bright, then they disappear
       A         D
Shine so bright, then they disappear
