[Intro]
[A / / / E / / / F#m / G / A / / /] (2 times)
[Verse]
A E D A
When you can't find the light that guides you on a cloudy day,
A E D A
When the stars ain't shining bright and you feel like you lost your way.
A E D A
When those candle-lights of home, burn so very far away,
A E F#m G
Aaah, you gotta let your soul shine, just like my Daddy used to say.
[Chorus]
A E
He used to say) soul shine, it's better than sunshine,
D A
It's better than moon shine, damn sure better than rain.
A E
Lord the people don't mind, ..... we all get this way some times.
F#m G A
You gotta let your soul shine, shine until the break of day.
[Verse 2]
A E D A
Grew up thinking that I had it made, gonna make it on my own.
A E D A
Life can take the strongest man, make him feel so alone.
A E D A
Now and then I feel the cold wind.......... blowing through my aching bones.
A E F#m G
I think back to what my Daddy said; He said, "Boy there's a darkness before the dawn."
[Chorus]
A E
(Let your) ..... soul shine, it's better than sunshine,
D A
It's better than moon shine, damn sure better than rain.
A E
Lord the people don't mind, ...... we all get this way some times.
F#m G A
You gotta let your soul shine, shine until the break of day.
[Bridge}
F#m D
Sometimes a man, . . can feel this emptiness,
D A
Like a woman robbed him of his very soul.
C#m D
Woman too, lord knows, she can feel like this,
G E
And when the world seems cold, y'gotta let your spirit take control.
