Capo on 5th fret
G* is normal open G with B-String on 3 fret/don't strum the E- and the A-String, so you 
need two fingers here ;)
G* G  
Don't cry
       C           D  G* G  
All the songs you sing
       C             D  G* G  
All the flowers you bring
CI'm part of DeveryFthing there ever Cwas
And will Dbe
Go on
You've got places to be
So many things to see
Don't worry 'bout me
I'm already where i should be
Look up
A plane writes in the sky
For every passerby
No one ever dies
They just write things in the sky
If you
Wanna think about me
Look out above the sea
And you can see that I am doing
Just fine
