[Intro]   [Bb]  [F]  [Gm]  [Ab]  [Bb] [x2]
 

[Bb]When you can't [F]find the light, [Eb]that got you through the cloudy [Bb]days,
[Bb]When the stars ain't s[F]hinin' bright, you fe[Eb]el like you've lost you're [Bb]way,
[Bb]When those [F]candle light of home, [Eb]burns so very far [Bb]away,
[Bb]Well you got to let your [F]soul shine, [Gm]just like my daddy used to[Ab] say.

He used to say [Bb]{soh}soulshine, it's better than [F]sunshine,{eoh}
It's better than [Eb]{soh}moonshine, damn sure better than [Bb]rain.{eoh}
Hey now people {soh}d[Bb]on't mind{eoh}, we all get this [F]{soh}way sometime,{eoh}
Got to let your [Gm]soul shine, [Ab]shine till the break of [Bb]day.
{eoc}

[Bb]I grew up thinkin' that I [F]had it made, [Eb]gonna make it on my [Bb]own.
[Bb]Life can take the [F]strongest man, [Eb]make him feel so [Bb]alone.
[Bb]Now and then I feel a [F]cold wind, [Eb]blowin' through my achin' [Bb]bones,
[Bb]I think back to what my [F]daddy said, he said "[Gm]Boy, in this darkness [Ab]before the
dawn"

He used to say [Bb]{soh}soulshine, it's better than [F]sunshine,{eoh}

Got to let your [Gm]soul shine, [Ab]shine till the break of [Bb]day.

{sob}
[Gm]Sometimes a man can [Eb]feel this emptiness,
Like a [Ebsus2]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 got to [F]let your spirit take control.
