When you can't find the light, that got you through the cloudy days,
E
Bm
A
E
When the stars ain't shinin' bright, you feel like you've lost you're way,
E
Bm
A
E
When those candle lights of home, burn so very far away,
E
Bm C#m
A
Well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say.
CHORUS -----------------------------------------
E
Bm
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
A
E
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
E
Bm
Hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime,
C#m A
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
-----------------------------------------------
I grew up thinkin' that I had it made, gonna make it on my own.
Life can take the strongest man, make him feel so alone.
Now and then I feel a cold wind, blowin' through my achin' bones,
I think back to what my daddy said, he said "Boy, in the darkness before the
dawn:"
{Chorus}
C#m
A
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
A
E
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
G#m
A
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
D
Bm
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.
{Chorus}
