version 2
A# F D# A#
When you can't find the light, that got you through the cloudy days,
A# F D# A#
When the stars ain't shinin' bright, you feel like you've lost you're way,
A# F D# A#
When those candle lights of home, burn so very far away,
A# F Gm G#
Well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say.
[Chorus]
A# F
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
D# A#
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
A# F
Hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime,
Gm G# A#
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of 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 D#
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
D# A#
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
Dm D#
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
G# F
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.
[Chorus]

A E D A#
When you can't find the light, that got you through the cloudy days,
A E D A
When the stars ain't shinin' bright, you feel like you've lost you're way,
A E D A
When those candle lights of home, burn so very far away,
A E F# G
Well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say.
[Chorus]
A E
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
D A
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
A E
Hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime,
F# G A
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
[Verse Two](SAME CHORDS AS FIRST VERSE)
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]
[Bridge]
F# D
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
D A
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
D Minor D
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
G E
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.
[Solo]
Consists of intro riffs
