KEEPER OF THE STARS
TRACY BYRD
This is the acoustic guitar part only - the slide parts are not included
I think this is pretty accurate but I know there are a few simplifications I made.
This song holds up well as a solo acoustic piece. I performed it at a wedding solo
And it turned out very well.

Down on me as I look at you tonight
Strum these chords
G A Fm
Well I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
G Em
He sure knew what he was doin'
A D
When he joined these two hearts
D G A Fm
I hold everything when I hold you in my arms
G Em
I've got all I'll ever need
A G riff 1
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
Riff 1

The second verse is very similar to the first and is even simplified in a few places.
Play the same picking pattern as the first verse.
Second verse
Soft moonlight on your face
Oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
When I look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve
A treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude
The song ends with a partial repeat of the 1st verse
It was no accident
Me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Riff 1 again but add a D chord slow strum at the end
