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]
My G#mmind burnt out like F#mstardust
EOn December Bone
You G#mstood there in the F#mhallway
Like Emoonlight on the Brun
You said 'if the G#mlights go out on F#mNew York
The Elights go out on Bus'
And in G#mseconds it was F#mover
Like Estardust into Brust
[Chorus]
G#mDidn't know your F#mnumber
I didn't Eeven know your Bname
But I'll be G#mcalling you from F#mNew York
And Ehoping you feel the Bsame
And if the G#mlights go out on F#mNew York
The Elights go out on Bus
In G#mseconds it will be F#mover
Like Estardust into Brust

G#mYou were there, your F#mwicked soul
EWandering to Bme

G#m F#m

Didn't know your number

I didn't even know your name

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

In seconds it will be over
