Doctor, doctor, tell me the time of 
     Db
day


Another bottle's empty

                     Ab
Another penny spent

He turned around and he slowly 
             Db
walked away

They shot him in the back and down 
         Ab
he went

              Db          Eb      
Shine your light, move it on, you 
             Db                Ab
burn so bright, roll on John



From the Liverpool docks to the red 
                       Db
light Hamburg streets

Down in the quarry with the 
           Ab
Quarrymen.

Playing to the big crowds Playing to
                  Db
 the cheap seats

Another day in your life until your 
               Ab
journey's end

              Db          Eb      
Shine your light, move it on, you 
            Db                Ab
burn so bright, roll on John




Sailing through the tradewinds

                   Db
Bound for the sun

Rags on your back just like any 
             Ab
other slave

They tied your hands and they 
                    Db
clamped your mouth

Continues after the ad
Wasn't no way out of that deep dark 
      Ab
cave

              Db          Eb      
Shine your light, move it on, you 
            Db                Ab
burn so bright, roll on John



                                Db
I heard the news today, oh boy

They hauled your ship up on the 
       Ab
shore


Now the city's gone dark

                      Db
There is no more joy

They tore the heart right out and 
                    Ab
cut it to the core

              Db          Eb      
Shine your light, move it on, you 
            Db                Ab
burn so bright, roll on John



Put on your bags and get 'em packed.
  Db


Leave right now you won't be far 
           Ab
from hine

The sooner you go, the quicker 
                Db
you'll be back

You've been cooped up on an island 
              Ab
far too long

              Db          Eb      
Shine your light, move it on, you 
            Db                Ab
burn so bright, roll on John



                                  Db
Slow down you're moving too fast

                                 Ab
Come together right now over me


Your bones are weary

You're about to breathe your last
Db


Lord, you know how hard that it can 
    Ab
be

              Db          Eb      
Shine your light, move it on, you 
            Db                Ab
burn so bright, roll on John



Roll on John, roll through the rain 
          Db
and snow

Take the righthand road and go where
                   Ab
 the buffalo roam

They'll trap you in an ambush before
           Ab
 you know

                                Db
Too late now to sail back home

              Db          Eb      
Shine your light, move it on, you 
            Db                Ab
burn so bright, roll on John



                             Db
Tyger, Tyger burning bright

                             Ab    
I pray the lord my soul to keep In 
                         Db
the forest of the night

                                  Ab
Cover him over and let him sleep

              Db          Eb      
Shine your light, move it on, you 
            Db                Ab
burn so bright, roll on John.
