Darius Rucker,   "Shine"


(intro)
G  Am  C  Am Em C D, G  Am  C  G  D,  


(verse)
GNovember of '43
GOn a boat coming 'cross the sea
C/G       D/G              C  He left a boy, came back a man
GShe started running when she saw his face
GIt'd been 655 days
C/G       D/G      CSince she held his hand
Em             GHe got down on one knee
Em            GAnd he pulled out that ring
Em                GThat he bought in Aberdeen
            DAnd when it hit that New York sky


(chorus)
   G It shined just like a spotlight
  AmA star up in the night sky
    C                                         Am Em C D,The kind of thing that takes your breath away
    GHer eyes sparkled like that diamond
     AmWith love beaming from 'em
    C                                DThe kind of light that's never gonna fade
           G It's gonna shine


(verse)
GFor the next 55 years
GThrough the laughter and the tears
C/G        D/C              C   My grandma always wore that band
GThrough atom bombs and a baby boom
GA Dr. King and a man on the moon
C/G         D/G      C No it never left her hand
Em             GOn the day she passed away
Em               GMama put it on a chain
Em              G Now and then on special days
          D Mom would hang it on her neck



(chorus)
             GAnd it would shine just like a spotlight
  AmA star up in the night sky
    C                                         Am Em C D,The kind of thing that takes your breath away
    GHer eyes sparkled like that diamond
     AmWith love beaming from 'em
    C                                D                The kind of light that's never gonna fade
