Shine On

D     C    F     C
Ohhh  ohhh
D            G           
   I took an hundred and ten 
Em  C           D
pictures of you
G             C            Am   
Put them all around me and 
            D
wondered what to do
       D         Em        C     
Like a temple in memory, a shrine
         D
 in your name
   G              C          D   
To days I don't remember, to 
          F
nights I can't reclaim
         G          Em        
I took a part of my life, about 
  C              D
eighteen years on.
G                C            Am
Pulled it all to pieces and I 
              D
tried to make a song
       D                Em        
With a groove you could dance to, 
  C              D
a tune you could hum
  G            C         Am      
I sang to my reflection, looking 
        F
for the one
Am                      D     C
Man sees the boy in his eyes. Boy 
sees the man, singing:

Chorus:
Bb         Fm
Shine on I thought you were gone
G#                       Eb
I thought you gave in, deserted me 
long ago
Bb               Fm
Shine on, you're somebody's son
G#                          
You're laughing again, you're 
  Eb                  Eb
letting the feeling grow

D          G         Em         
  I took a hold of myself. It's 
C         D
not how I planned
G               C          Am   
Pulled myself together and acted
        D
 like a man
        D           Em     
I got a face I must keep up, 
    C         D
responsible me
  G             C           
I keep it on my shoulders for 
   D          F
everyone to see
    Am                      D     
But man sees the boy in his eyes, 
C
boy sees the man, singing:

Rpt Chorus:

B           F#m
Letting the feeling grow,
A          E
giving the years back to me
B           F#m
Letting the whole world know
A              E
 that somebody in there loves me

 with words]

Am                       D      
Man sees the boy when he cries, 
C                     F
boy sees the man clinging to him
Am                      D     C
Man sees the boy in his eyes, boy 
sees the man, singing:
