WOULD YOU CATCH A FALLING STAR
Performed by John Anderson                                             
Written by Bobby Braddock
Capo on 1st fret

[C]You know the crowd was very [F]small for a country music [C]show
But he faked a curtain [G]call---, just like it was years a-[C]go
And then a lady grabbed his [F]arm as he staggered down the [C]aisle
And with all his country [G]charm, [F]he addressed her with a [C]smile.
   
CHORUS
[C]Would you catch a fallin' [F]star before he crashes to the [C]ground
Don't you know how people [G]are---, nobody loves you when you're [C]down
Pick me up and take me [F]home and I'll bring my old gui-[C]tar
Sing a golden oldie [G]song, [F] if you'll catch a fallin' [C]star.

[C]He had a silver plated [F]bus and a million country [C]fans
And now there's just a few of [G]us--- and he drives a little [C]van
An' they were beating down his [F]door, the lovely women, left and [C]right
And now he's on the hardwood [G]floor, [F] a-wonderin' where he'll spend the night.

CHORUS
[C]Would you catch a fallin' [F]star before he crashes to the [C]ground
Don't you know how people [G]are---, nobody loves you when you're [C]down
Pick him up and take me [F]home and he'll bring his old gui-[C]tar
Sing a golden oldie [G]song, [F] if you'll catch a fallin' [C]star.

Sing a golden oldie [G]song, [F] if you'll catch a fallin' [C]star.
