Verse 1
G D C G
When you can't find the light That guides you through a cloudy day
G D C G
When the stars aren't shining bright And you feel like you've lost your way
G D C G
When those candle lights at home Burn so very far away
G D Em F
Well you got to let your soulshine Just like my daddy used to say
Chorus
F G
Used to say soulshine
G D
It's better than sunshine
D C
It's better than moonshine
C G
Damn sure better than rain
G
Hey now people don't mind
G D
We all feel this way sometimes
D Em
You got to let your soulshine
F G
Shine till the break of day
Verse 2 (chords same as verse 1)
I grew up thinking that I had it made gonna make it on my own
Life can take the strongest man and make him feel so alone
Now and then I feel a cold wind blowing through my aching bones
I just think back to what my daddy says he said boy in this darkness before the cold
Chorus (chords same as chorus 1)
E C
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
C G
Like a woman has robbed his mother's very soul
Bm C
A woman too god knows she can feel like this
F
And when your world seems cold
F D
You got to let your spirit take control
