I When up you ing can’t I find the light that (Eb)guides you through a cloud y day. When the stars ain’t (F)shin ing bright, you (Eb)feel like you’ve lost your way. When the can dle light of home wind (Eb)burns so ver y far a way. Well, you’ve got to let your soul shine, said, he said: (Gm)just like my dad dy used to (Ab)say. He used to say: (Bb)soul shine, it’s bet ter than (F)sun shine, it’s bet ter than (Eb)moon shine, damn sure bet ter than (Bb)rain. Hey now, peo ple don’t mind, we all feel this (F)way some time. You’ve got to let your (Gm)soul shine, (Ab)shine ’til the break of day. I grew up think ing that I had it made, I’d (Eb)make it on a cloud my own. Life can take the (F)strong est man, you (Eb)make him feel so a lone. Now, some times I feel a cold wind (Eb)blow ing through my ach ing bones.

Some times a man can (Eb)feel this emp ti ness, like a wom an has robbed him of his ver y (Bb)soul. A (Dm)wom an, too, God knows, she can (Eb)feel like this. And when your world seems cold, you’ve got to (F)let your spir it take con trol. Talk ing ’bout Oh, it’s bet ter than (F)sun shine, it’s bet ter than (Eb)moon shine, it’s damn sure bet ter than (Bb)rain. Yeah, now, peo ple don’t mind, we all feel this (F)way some times.
