Shine Your Light — Robbie Robertson
Chords and lyrics for Shine Your Light by Robbie Robertson (key of A).
Verse 1
[F#m]The cry of the city like a [D]siren's song
[F#m]Wailing over the rooftops [D]the whole night long
[F#m]Saw a shooting star like a [D]diamond in the sky
[E]Must be someone's soul passing by
[F#m]These are the streets
Where we [D]used to run where your Papa's from
[F#m]These are the days
Where you [D]become what you become
[F#m]These are the streets
Where the [D]story's told
The truth unfolds
[E]Darkness settles in Oh-Oh
[D]Shine your [A]light [E]down on [F#m]me
[D]Lift me [A]up [E]so I can [F#m]see
[D]Shine your [A]light [E]when [F#m]you're gone
[D]Give me the [A]strength
To [E]carry on, [A]carry on [A][D]
[F#m]Don't wanna be a hero
Just an everyday[D] man
[F#m]Trying to do the job the very[D] best he can
[F#m]But now it's like living on [D]borrowed time
Out [E]on the rim , over the line
[F#m]Always tempting fate like a game [D]of chance
[F#m]Never wanna stick around to the [D]very last dance
[F#m]Sometimes I stumble and take [D]a hard fall
Loose[E] hold your grip off the wall
[D]Shine your [A]light [E]down on [F#m]me
[D]Lift me [A]up [E]so I can [F#m]see
[D]Shine your [A]light [E]when [F#m]you're gone
[D]Give me the [A]strength
To [E]carry on, [A]carry on [A][D]
[Bm]I thought I saw him walking by the [E]side of the road
[D]Maybe trying to find his way [A]home
He's [Bm]here but not here
He's [E]gone but not gone
Just [D]hope he knows if I get [E]lost [E]
[D]Shine your [A]light [E]down on [F#m]me
[D]Lift me [A]up [E]so I can [F#m]see
[D]Shine your [A]light [E]when [F#m]you're gone
[D]Give me the [A]strength
To [E]carry on, [A]carry on [A][D]
Carry [A]on
