Lyrics

The cry of the cit y, like a (Eb)sir en’s song wail in’ ov er the roof tops the (Eb)whole night long. Saw a shoot ing star like a (Eb)dia mond in the sky. (F6)Must be some one’s (F)soul pass in’ (F)by. These are the streets where we (Eb)used to run, where your Pop is from. These are the days where (Eb)you be come what you be come. These are the streets where the (Eb)stor y’s told, the truth un folds and dark ness (F)set tles in. Oh, shine your (Bb)light down on (Gm7)me. Lift me (Bb)up so I can (Gm7)see, umm. Shine your (Bb)light when you’re (Gm7)gone. Give me (Bb)the strength to (Gm)car (F)ry on, (Bb)car ry on. Don’t wan na be a her o. Just an (Eb)ev ’ry day man try’n to do the job the ver y best he can. But now it’s like liv in’ on bor rowed time. Out on (F)the rim, ov er (F)the line. Al ways tempt in’ fate like a (Eb)game of chance. Nev er wan na stick a round to the (Eb)ver y last dance. Some times you stum ble and (Eb)take a hard fall. Lose hold (F)your grip, off the (F)wall. Shine your (Bb)light down on (Gm7)me. Lift me (Bb)up so I can (Gm7)see, umm. Shine your (Bb)light when you’re (Gm7)gone. Give me (Bb)the strength to (Gm)car (F)ry on, (Bb)car ry on. I thought I saw him walk in’ by the (F)side of the road. May be try’n to find his way home, umm. He’s (Cm)here but not here. He’s (F)gone but not gone. Just hope he knows if (F)I get lost. Ohh, (Gm)car (F)ry on, (Bb)car ry on. Shine your (Bb)light down on (Gm7)me. Lift me (Bb)up, (F)ooh. Shine your (Eb)light, shine your (Bb)light when you’re (Gm7)gone. Give me (Bb)the strength to (Gm)car (F)ry (Bb)on.
