Soul Shine

I When up you ing can't I find the light that (Eb)guides you through a cloudy (Bb)day.

When the stars ain't (F)shining bright,

you (Eb)feel like you've lost your (Bb)way.

(F)When the candle light of home wind (Eb)burns so very far (Bb)away.

(F)Well, you've got to let your soul shine,

said, he said:

(Gm)just like my daddy used to (Ab)say.

He used to say:

(Bb)soul shine, it's better than (F)sunshine,

it's better than (Eb)moonshine, damn sure better than (Bb)rain.

Hey now, people don't mind,

we all feel this (F)way sometime.

You've got to let your (Gm)soul shine,

(Ab)shine 'til the break of day.

(F)I grew up think ing that I had it made,

I'd (Eb)make it on a cloud my (Bb)own.

Life can take the (F)strongest man,

you (Eb)make him feel so (Bb)alone.

(F)Now, sometimes I feel a cold wind (Eb)blowing through my aching (Bb)bones.

(F)I think back to what my daddy said,

he said:

(Gm)Boy, in this darkness, used (Ab)before the dawn,

let your (Bb)soul shine,

it's better than (F)sunshine,

it's better than (Eb)moonshine, damn sure better than (Bb)rain.

Hey now, people don't mind,

we all feel this (F)way sometime.

You've got to let your (Gm)soul shine,

(Ab)shine 'til the break of day.

(Gm)Sometimes a man can (Eb)feel this emptiness,

like a woman has robbed him of his very (Bb)soul.

A (Dm)woman, too,

God knows, she can (Eb)feel like this.

(Ab)And when your world seems cold,

you've got to (F)let your spirit take control.

(F)Talking 'bout (Bb)Oh, it's better than (F)sunshine,

it's better than (Eb)moonshine, it's damn sure better than (Bb)rain.

Yeah, now, people don't mind,

we all feel this (F)way sometimes.

Got to let your (Gm)soul shine,
