Shine It On

E

[Chorus]
         A      B                
Shine It On, my man, forget your 
E               A
troubles if you can
     F#m                B         
I'll hold you 'till the dawn, 
     E            B
Shine It On, Shine It On
            A               B     
You've been too long on the road 
          E          A
and you're ready to explode
         F#m             B        
Come and lighten up your load, 
      E
Shine It On.

E                                 
We had love and not much more but 
A
dreams just for free
B                                 
We sure got lost there, dad and 
      E
mom and me
Continues after the ad
He'd let me steer on straight a ways
       A                  F#m
 as we drove from town to town
   B                            
We knew that daddy's gypsy blood 
                         E
wouldn't let him settle down.

           E                   
There were times he'd sit right 
       A                   F#m
down, just plain hang his head
         B                         
But he'd always lift it up and 
                E
smile whenever mama said.

[Chorus]
F                                 
Papa's gone but Lord his blood is 
Bb
running through my veins
C                             
Mama's gone to find him, so she 
                F
can't ease my pain
Another woman holds me now, in a 
       Bb        G
little different way
C                                 
Now I know why papa smiled, when 
             F
he heard mama say.

[Chorus 2]
         Bb     C                
Shine It On, my man, forget your 
F               Bb
troubles if you can
     G                  C         
I'll hold you 'till the dawn, 
     F            C
Shine It On, Shine It On
            Bb              C     
You've been too long on the road 
          E          Bb
and you're ready to explode
         G               C        
Come and lighten up your load, 
      F
Shine It On.
