Verse 1:
   G
I remember once I broke down in the country
       Em
I was sixteen with a broken heart in bloom
       D
And I walked home through the pines
                       G
Nobody saw me but the moon
      G
By sunrise I could hear the church bells ringing
   Em
I got there as the saints were marching in
   D
I sat down on the back row
                           G
And heard the story once again

Chorus:
         Em
And the servants of the secret fire
      D
Were gathered there
     Am            G
The embers of the ages
       C             D
Like a living prayer
     Em                            D
And all at once I saw the shadows flee
  C    D     C   Am G      Em
Shine your light on me, on me
       D
Be a light unto my path
                    G
And a lamp unto my feet


Verse 2:
       G
They flew us down to oklahoma city
          Em
Yeah, but I could hardly stand there on the stage
    D
So sick I couldn't speak
                         G
And the fever wouldn't break
              G
But when I stepped up to the microphone I heard it
             Em
It was the voices of the brothers at my side
            D                 C
They were singing out my song
                          G
When the song in me had died


Chorus:
Em  D    C    D     C   D  Em
   Oh, shine your light on me

Em C Em C

   Em                                   C
Somebody come and get me when I'm gone
   Em                                                          C
Somebody come and get me when I'm gone, get me when I'm gone


Verse 3:
       G
Two years ago I drove into a darkness
   Em
I straightened every curve on cane ridge road
             D
And I could hear the flapping wings
                       G
Of every devil I have known
          G
And the inside of my car was like a casket
              Em
But then it flooded with a blaze of sacred light
         D
She was calling me back home
                          G     D
And as I pulled into the drive


Chorus:
             Em
I knew the servants of the secret fire
      D
Were gathered there
     Am            G
The embers of the ages
       C             D
Like a living prayer
          Em                                 D
She was standing on the porch where I could see
  C    D     C   Am G      Em
Shine your light on me, on me
       D
Be a light unto my path
                    G
And a lamp unto my feet
           D                C
Oh, be a light unto my path
                    C     G
And a lamp unto my feet
