Subject: Song "New Star Shining" by Ricky Skaggs (w/ James Taylor)

capo in 4th fret

(1st verse)
C G Am7 C G
They didn't own a house No crib, no toys were waiting
C G Dm C G
Still, they had their love for the child they were anticipating
C G Am C G
He was born one winter night on a road between two towns
Dm Am7 F
C
They wrapped Him up so warm and tight and said, "It looks like heaven's come
down."

(chorus)
F G Am7 C
There was a new star shining in the sky up above
Dm Am7 Dm C
G
By His light that winter night they found peace and perfect love
F G Am7 C F
If we want to find it, I know we always will
Dm G C
'Cause that new star is shining for us still

(2nd verse)
C G Am7
C G
They worried how to feed Him. Simple trade was all they knew
Dm Am7 Dm
C G
It was hard enough to make ends meet when they were only two
C G Am7
C G
But the cold, the dark, and hunger, couldn't take away their joy
Dm Am7 F
C
And they knew that they would find a way for that precious baby boy

(chorus)
F G Am7 C
There was a new star shining in the sky up above
Dm Am7 Dm C
G
By His light that winter night they found peace and perfect love
F G Am7 C F
If we want to find it, I know we always will
Dm G C
'Cause that new star is shining for us still
F G Am7 C F
If we want to find it, I know we always will
Dm G C
'Cause that new star is shining for us still

This song was obviously released for Christmas. But Mr Skaggs also released
it on an album quite some time ago. I had this album at one time. But
since lost track of it. Hope you enjoy it. I still do.
