Soulshine
Allman Brothers

(Capo on 1st fret) A E F#m G A (x2)

A                         E        D                       A add sus4
When you can't find the light that guides you    through a cloudy day
When the stars ain't shining bright, it feels like you've lost your way
When the candle light at home, burns so very far  away
A                                     E    F#m                 G
Well you gotta let your soul shine, just like my Daddy used to say

A                   E
Used to say the soulshine is better than sunshine
D        A add sus4
Better than moonshine, it's damn sure better than rain
                                        A
E
                     But people don't mind, we all feel this
way sometimes
                                                     F#m
G                                   A add sus4
                     You got to let your soul shine, shine
'til the break of day

             Grew up thinkin' that I had it made, that I'd
make it on my own
             Life can take the strongest man and make him feel
so alone
             Now sometimes I feel a cold wind blowin' through
my aching bones
             I think back to what my Daddy said, he said: boy
there's darkness before the dawn

                     Let your soul shine, it's better than
sunshine
                     Better than moonshine, it's damn sure
better than rain
                     Well now people don't mind, we all feel
this way sometime
                     You got to let your soul shine, shine
'til the break of day

                       F#m

                             Sometimes a man can feel this
emptiness

A
                             Like a woman has robbed him of
his very soul
                       C#m
D
                             A woman too, lord knows, she can
feel like this
                                   G
                             But hey, when your world seems
cold
                                    E
                             You got to let your spirit take
control
                                             *Solo* (verse &
2nd chorus)

                     Talkin' bout soulshine, better than
sunshine
                     Better than moonshine, it's damn sure
better than rain
                     Well now people don't mind, we all feel
this way sometime
                     You got to let your soul shine, shine
'til the break of day

                     Let your soul shine, it's better than
sunshine
                     Better than moonshine, it's damn sure
better than rain
                     Well now people don't mind, we all feel
this way sometime
                     You got to let your soul shine, shine
'til the break of day...
