[Verse 1]
C                     G
 You were born in a small town
F                   Am                G
 Always had dreams bigger than your brother, you know it
C                       G
 Hit the road where it forks down
F                       Am            G
 Made good decisions, start from the gutter, you know it
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                G
 Big city lives, fast lane living but
 F                     G     C
You never forgot your roots, oh ooh
Am              G
 Back in town, daddy's advice
 F                      G
Baby don't forget that you
 
 
[Chorus]
         C                             G
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
                        F
Shine a light, shine a light
F
Everywhere you go
         C                             G
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
                        F
Shine a light, shine a light
F
Everyone you know
         C    G  F
Shine a light
         C    G  F
Shine a light
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                    G
 You've struggled before now
F               Am          G
 Each time you made out the other side
C                           G
 Pick yourself up when you fall down
F                Am         G
 Stand tall and never be afraid to cry
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am               G
 Big city life, same thing, different town
 F                         G      C
Darling don't forget your roots, well
Am              G
 Back in town, momma's advice
 F                      G
Baby don't forget that you
 
 
[Chorus]
         C                             G
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
                        F
Shine a light, shine a light
F
Everywhere you go
         C                             G
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light

[Bridge]
 Dm
People love and people cry
 G
People live and people die
          C                            F
And I'll never meet another life like you
Dm
Every day and every night
 G
Teaching you wrong from right
 C                                F
Now you get to shine a light don't you, don't you
