Here is a tab. of 'By Starlight'. I've been waiting and waiting for someone else to do it, but no one did so.... This is the first song I've ever tabbed besides "Ride It On" by Mazzy so I hope it's close. This song is beautiful, quite "Lunaesque". It has some effects that make me think there may be some keyboard on that swelling part that the song fades in with. During the verses, you can play any high string of the chord and it will sound nice. I didn't tab every little fill, but it's a pretty open song so...have fun: Chords come in with D A C G All effects cut off- (D) By starlight I'll (A) kiss you and (C) promise to (G) be your one and (D) only. I'll make you feel (A) happy (C) and leave you to (G) be lost in my eyes. (Dii) And where do we (Aii) go? (Cii) What do we do (Gii) Soon said (A) I....We'll (D) know.

(D) Dead eyes, (A) Dead eyes, (C) Are you just like (G) me? (D) Her eyes, (A) Her eyes (C) were as vacant as the (G) sea..yeah (D) Dead eyes, (A) Dead eyes (C) Are you just like (G) me? sounds in........ (G) And all (A) along, we (C) knew we'd carry (G) on, (C) Just to (A) belong..... (D) By starlight I (A) know you as (C) lonely as a (G) wish granted (D) true. My life has been (A) empty, my (C) life has been un(G)true... sounds in ........ (G) does she really (A) know (C) who I really (G) am? Does she really (A) know me?..........piano....
