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 mind burnt out like stardust
On December one
You stood there in the hallway
Like moonlight on the run
You said if the lights go out on New York
The lights go out on us
And in seconds it was over
Like stardust into rust
[Chorus]
Didn t know your number
I didn t even know your name
But I ll be calling you from New York
And hoping you feel the same
And if the lights go out on New York
The lights go out on us
In seconds it will be over
Like stardust into rust

[Verse 2]
* *
Losing sleep to lucid dreams
* ()
When I m walking in a field
You were there, your wicked soul
Wandering to me
[Pre-Chorus]
You haven t called and it s been hours
You haven t written or sent flowers
Oh God, did you think that
It might just be too hard?
Oh God, did you think that
Or did you know it from the start?
[Chorus]
Didn t know your number
I didn t even know your name
But I ll be calling you from New York
And hoping you feel the same
And if the lights go out on New York
The lights go out on us
In seconds it will be over
Like stardust into rust
