[Intro]
Am  G  Am  G
Am  G  Am  G

[Verse 1]
Am                    G
Woman of wonder, gone into the night
F               Am
All has been forgiven

For the first and the last time,
        G
it will all be alright
        F                  Am
To this point we have been driven

[Pre-Chorus]
G
They drink their brandy and
     F             Am
they smoke their cigars
G                       F
While their old friends scream
    Am
out their names
Am
And she says:

[Chorus]
G                F
"We are all just children
       Am
of the stars
            G
A couple of girls, couple of boys
F              Am
You are not to blame
   G    F
No-no, no-no"

[Verse 2]
Am               G
Woman of wonder, gone into my soul
        F           Am
In your opium apparition
                          G
Your muse God is sure [?] can divide
     F              Am
To a man in my condition
She say's "Follow me baby",
           G
though her tears have been cried
        F             Am
You and I can bе forgiven

For fallen, for thinking that
    G
our hearts arе both died
        F                 Am
In this life we are still living

[Pre-Chorus]
G
They sniff their thunder and
     F             Am
they compare their scars
G                    F
While their old foes scream
    Am
out their names
Am
And she says:

How to play Children Of The Stars: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Children Of The Stars by Paolo Nutini on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

To play Children Of The Stars by Paolo Nutini, think in A minor (no sharps or flats). It takes 3 chords: Am, G and F.

Listen for Am – G – F – Am (i – VII – VI – i in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Em, D, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
