    D                Bm
    Ev'ry man, has a flaming star
      Bm                     G
    A flaming star, over his shoulder
               D             Bm
    And when a man, sees his flaming star
                 Em                 D
    He knows his time, his time has come

    D                                Bm
    Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
    D                             Bm
    Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
              Em
    There's a lot of livin' I've got to do
            Em
    Give me time to make a few dreams come true
            Bm
    Flaming star

    When I ride, I feel that flaming star
    That flaming star, over my shoulder
    And so I ride, front of that flaming star
    Never lookin' around, never lookin' around
    Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
    Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
    There's a lot of livin' I've got to do
    Give me time to make a few dreams come true
    Flaming star
    One fine day, I'll see that flaming star
    That flaming star, over my shoulder
    And when I see, that old flaming star
    I'll know my time, my time has come
    Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
    Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
    There's a lot of livin' I've got to do
    Give me time to make a few dreams come true
    Flaming star
