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. 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}
