[Verse]
G D C C/D G
When you can't find the light, that guides you through a cloudy day, and
G D C C/D G
When the stars ain't shinin' bright, you feel like you've lost you're way,
G D C G
When those candle lights of home, burn so very far away,
G D Em F
Well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say.
[Chorus]
G D Dsus4 D
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
C C/D G
It's better than moonshine, it's damn sure better than rain.
G D D4 D
people don't mind, we all get this way sometimes, you
Em F G
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
[Verse]
G D C G
I grew up thinkin' that I had it made, gonna make it on my own.
G D C G
Life can take the strongest man, and make him feel so all alone.
G D C G
Now and then I feel a cold wind, blowin' through my achin' bones,
G D Em F
I think back to what my daddy said, he said "Son, in the darkness before the dawn:"
[Chorus]
G D D4 D
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,

It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.

people don't mind, we all get this way sometimes,
Em F G G E*
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
[Verse]

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,

Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
Bm C C/D
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
F D D4 D
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.
[Chorus]
G D D4 D
you gotta say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
C C/D G
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
G D D4 D
people don't mind, we all get this way sometimes,
Em F G
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
