(pause)                        E  
I saw a starfish on the ground
He was half buried in the F#msand
Just so out of place and AahBh
(pause)                          E  
He was a long, long way from home
I was a long, long way from home
And so we talked a little while
Then I shook his hands....and I
I was a long, long way from home
(Pause)           A  
And everything is wonderful
When everything's alright so Ealright
F#mThere we wAere
(pause)               E  
One less star tonight
ENa na na na na na nF#ma
Na Ana na na nBa naE  
We thought a better place to go
Might be the top of purple mountains
So close to outer space....and ahh
We were a long, long way from home
We'd bring some records and a game
Might take a walk or read a book
But it's not the same....no ahh
We're still a long long way from home
(Chorus)
(pause)                 E  
I saw a starfish on the ground
Oh, he was still buried in the F#msand
Now he's not so all Aalone
And he's finally going Bhome
So I smiled and I shook his hEands....and we were singin'
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
(Repeat)
F#mThere we wAere one less star tonightE  
F#mThere we wAere one more star tonight
