This is such a great song. I was disappointed not to find
any EWF tabs anywhere, so I put this up. Thanks to my
guitar teacher Mark Heinneman who helped me figure out
this song.

play the riff with a funky rhythm and mute the notes with your palm
Play with funk rhythm

When you wish upon a star,
E9
Dreams will take you very far,
E9
But when you wish upon a dream,
E9
Life ain't always what it seems
E9
What'd you see, on night of clear,
E9
In the sky, so very dear
A7 D9
You're a shining star,
G7 C9
No matter who you are
A7 D9
Shining bright to see,
G7 C9
What you could truly be.
Solo
Shining star comes into view,
To shine its watchful light on you.
Give you strength to carry,
Make your body big and strong.
Born a man-child of the sun,
Saw work had just begun,
Found I had to stand alone,
Bless it now I've got my own
So if you find yourself in need
Listen to these words of heed
Be a giant, or grain of sand
Words of wisdom, yes I can
You're a shining star
No matter who you are,
Shining bright to see,
What you can truly be (repeat)
Shining star for you to see
What your life can truly be (repeat 3 times)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official EARTH WIND AND FIRE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
