Soulshine The Allman Brothers Band
by Warren Haynes
[A#]When you can't f[F]ind the light, that g[D#]ot you through the cloudy d[A#]ays,
[A#]When the stars ain't [F]shinin' bright, you f[D#]eel like you've lost [A#]you're way,
[A#]When those candle l[F]ights of home, [D#]burn so very far a[A#]way,
[A#]Well you got to let your s[F]oul shine, j[Gm]ust like my daddy used to [G#]say.
(Chorus)
He used to say s[A#]oulshine, it's better than s[F]unshine,
It's better than m[D#]oonshine, damn sure better than r[A#]ain.
Hey now people d[A#]on't mind, we all get this way s[F]ometime,
Got to let your [Gm]soul shine, [G#]shine till the break of [A#]day.
I grew up thinkin' that I had it made, gonna make it on my own.
Life can take the strongest man, make him feel so alone.
Now and then I feel a cold wind, blowin' through my achin' bones,
I think back to what my daddy said, he said "Boy, in the darkness before the dawn:"
(Chorus)
[Gm]Sometimes a man can f[D#]eel this emptiness,
Like a [D#]woman has robbed him of his very [A#]soul.
A [Dm]woman too, God knows, she can f[D#]eel like this.
[G#]And when your world seems cold, you got to l[F]et your spirit take control.
(Chorus)
