G                 D                    C                        G
   When you can't find the light, that got you through a cloudy day
G                       D                   C                     G

   When the candle light of home, burn so very far away
G                           D           Em                        F
   Well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say

Chorus:
               G                           D
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine
                 C                                G
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain
               G                           D
Hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime
                    Em         F                          G
You got to let your soul shine, shine 'til the break of day

Verse:
G                            D            C               G
   I grew up thinking that I had it made, make it on my own
G                    D              C               G
   Life can take the strongest man,   make him feel so alone
G                         D          C                         G
   Now sometimes I feel a cold wind, blowing through my aching bones
G                          D                     Em                     F
   I think back to what my Daddy said; he said, "Boy, in this darkness before the dawn"

Chorus:
         G                           D
Let your soulshine, it's better than sunshine
                 C                                G
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain
                G                           D
Yeah now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime
                    Em         F                          G
You got to let your soul shine, shine 'til the break of day

Bridge:
Em                    C
   Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
       C                                G
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul
  Bm                           C
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this
F                                          D
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control


Chorus:
              G                           D

                G                            D
