 My looking days were done
  When I fell  into her sun
  All  the other planets fell in line
  At night  when she came to bed
  I would hang  my happy head
 
 And say oh unlucky lady you are mine
  Oh  unlucky lady  you are mine
  Oh  unlucky lady  you are mine
 She gave me green planets and worlds
  To hang around my neck like pearls
  I lay on her bed with fruit and wine
  Perfeectly satisfied
  That I had found the luminous ride
 She said Oh I think Im slipping from your mind
  No  unlucky lady  you are mine
  No  unlucky lady  you still  shine
 
 Stars all around my head
  Stars  all around my head
  And  she thinks shes slipping from the sky
 My looking days were done
  We became like the earth and sun
  All the marble planets fell in line
  So tonight as we laid in bed
  With my lips up near her head
 
 I said oh unlucky lady you are mine, oh
 Stars all around my head
  Stars all around my head
 
 Oh unlucky lady, you are mine
 THE SLACKS (also from Across the Universe)
 Very simple - no point in creating a separate file:
 Verse and Chorus are all G / D / A
 Except that the final line of the chorus ("...we did a dance..")
 is  /  /
 In the very beginning when its all acoustic, it sounds like the chords
 are strummed at the base of the fretboard, and the D is played with
 the first finger barring the top four string on the 2nd fret, the 2nd
 finger on the B string fret 3, and the 3rd finger on the D string fret
 4. This way, going from D to A involves just releasing fingers 2 and
 3 and pulling the strings. You can hammer on with the two fingers to
 go back from A to D, and play with it a little to make each of the
 lines at the beginning of the song slightly different

 At the end of the chorus when they do Em/G/A, on the low E string play
 the notes E--F--G when going from Em to G.
