G D C G
When you can't find the light, that got you through the cloudy days,
G D C G
When the stars ain't shinin' bright, you feel like you've lost you're way,
G D C G
When those candle lights 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 Dsus4 D
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
C G G6 G
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
G D
Well now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime,
Em F G G6 G
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
[Verse]
G D C G
I grew up thinkin' that I had it made, gonna 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 and then I feel a cold wind, blowin' through my achin' bones,
G D Em F
I think back to what my daddy said, he said "Boy, in the darkness before the dawn:"
[Chorus]
G D Dsus4 D
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
C G G6 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 G6 G
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day
[Bridge]
Em C
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
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 Dsus4 D
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.
[Chorus]
G D Dsus4 D
Talking bout soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
C G G6 G
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
G D
Hey now people don't mind, we all feel this way sometime,
Em F G G6 G
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day
G D Dsus4 D
Talking bout soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
C G G6 G
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
G D
Hey now people don't mind, we all feel this way sometime,
Em F G G6 G
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day
