A beatufil folk-song by the german band called "Porters". I was surprised when I couldn't find any tab of 
them here, so I hope you like it. Enjoy.

Intro: Em C G D x2

Verse:
Em             C                    G                 D
Deep in your heart there was once a diamond shining bright
Em           C              G               D
Every dark place you passed by turned into light
         Em           C               D               Em
But somebody broke into your heart and blew out your lights
         D                                        G
And your sparkling little diamond turned pale overnight

         Em            C                 G                  D  
What the hell has become of that pretty girl so sweet and nice
Em             C                     G            D          
Where have remaind your insatiable thirst after life
          Em              C              D           Em 
Girl what ever they have done to you, where ever you are
      D                                              G
No ever so big force on earth could kill a burning hearts

Chorus:
  Em        C
Shine on, shine on
G                D
Don't let the bastards drag you down
Em       C           G             D
Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm
Em           C         D             Em
Shine on and on, and keep the fire burnings
Em             C         D
Shine on, shine on, shine on


/Here comes somekind of guitar solo, but just Em C G D x2 times sounds fine/

      Em                 C                  G               D
Your train ran off the rails, hey girl you didn't lay the tracks
             Em             C               G                   D
If you wanna reach for the sky you have to go through hell and back
         Em              C          D        Em
Don't deliver girl, let me take you by the hand
        D                                         G
At the end of the rainbow the way of cross still ends

Chorus:
  Em        C
Shine on, shine on
G                D
Don't let the bastards drag you down
Em       C           G             D
Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm
Em           C         D             Em
Shine on and on, and keep the fire burnings
Em             C         D
Shine on, shine on, shine on


/Violin solo, then drums and piano, you just strum all the chords once/


      Em        C         D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
      Em        C         D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
      Em        C         D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
      Em        C         D
Shine on, shine on, shine on (mute)
Don't let the bastards drag you down!


/Speed up/


  Em        C
Shine on, shine on
G                D
Don't let the bastards drag you down
Em       C           G             D
Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm
Em           C         D             Em
Shine on and on, and keep the fire burnings
Em             C         D
Shine on, shine on, shine on


/Strum once, then finish it only with your voice as sad as you can :)/


      Em        C         D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
                         D
Don't let the bastards drag you down...
