Elton John/Lee Hall
from "Billy Elliot - The Musical" (2005)

Bb

             Eb                    Bb
Through the dark, and through the hunger
             Ab                    Eb
Through the night and through the fear
            Bb/D                Eb
Through the fight and years of hardship
              F                     Bb
Through the storms and through the tears

        Eb                  Bb
And although your feet are weary
        Ab                 Eb
And although your soul is worn
        Bb/D                  Eb
And although they'll try to break you
        F                  Bb
And although you'll feel alone

         Bbm           F#
We will always stand together
        C#                      Ab
In the dark, right through the storm
          E                  B
We will stand, shoulder to shoulder
            Ab
To keep us warm

          B
And the stars look down on the mean and hungry
          F#
And the stars look down and show the way
          C#					  F#
And the stars look down and we'll stand together

To see a day
                    Abm
When the stars look down and know our history
                     F#
When the stars look down upon our past
                    E                               F#
And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
                    C#m     F#       Ab
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun

                F                       C
And though our hands are bruised and bleeding
         Bb                  F
And our lungs are full with dust
         C/E                 F
And our hearts are near to breaking
         G                C
We will never forgo the trust

         F                      C
We will fight through pain and hunger
       Bb            F
Every arrow, every knife.
            C/E             F
And we will never give the hope up
       G               C
Of a proud and honest life

            Cm             Ab
So we will always stand together
             Eb                   Bb
Through the frost, the hail, the snow
      F#             C#
The stars are our redemption
          Bb
And some know

      Eb
The stars look down when we're abandoned
      Bb
Look down in the heart of night
          F				     Bb
And the stars look down and give us vision

To see the light
                Cm
The stars look down upon our struggle
                Bb
The stars look down and know the past
                Ab                              Bb
The stars look down and see a future bright at last
                    Fm      Bb        C
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun.

Cm

All out as one
All out for victory
        Bb/F        C
All out till we've won

Cm - Gm - Ab - Bb

         C              G
Take me up and hold me gently
         F               C
Raise me up and hold me high
            G/B           C
Through the nights under darkness
             D                G
Will come a day when we will fly

        C                  G
And although we've been rejected
        F                   C
And although we've been outcast
        G/B           C
We will find a new tomorrow
         D               G
When we come to rest at last

    Gm                    Eb
And we will stand there proudly
            Bb           F
And we will never walk alone
    C#           Ab
And we will be returned
             F     Bb/F - C/G
Back to our home

          F
And the stars look down at their reflection
          C
And the stars look down and there's a light
           G       				   C
When the stars look down they'll see the justice

And the right
                   Dm
And the stars look down and see the struggle
                    C
And the stars look down and know the pain
                     Bb                                 C
And the stars will lead us back to where light shines again
                     Gm     C         D
Where we'll stand as one beneath the sun
Gm     C         D
One beneath the sun

                 Dm
When we stand as one All out together
                  C
When we stand as one All out as one
                 Gm
When we stand as one All out for victory
                 C
When we stand as one Till we've won

When we stand as one All out together
When we stand as one All out as one
When we stand as one All out for victory
When we stand as one Till we've won
When we stand as one All out together
When we stand as one All out as one
When we stand as one All out for victory
         C          D
All out till we've won.
