[Verse 1]
F#m7                Bm7            C#m Bm7They say every man can be replaced
 D         E7           AThey say every distance is not near
A     F#m7     Bm7So I remember every face
D         E7             AOf every man who put me here


[Chorus]
A         F#m7        Bm7    C#m Bm7I see my light come shining
 D       C#m7          F#m7  E7  AFrom the west unto the eaaaaaaaaast
 A  F#m7    Bm7Any day now any day now
D  E7        AI shall be released

 A F#m7           Bm7                  C#m Bm7   They say every man needs protection
 D             E7        AThey say every man must fall
A   F#m7     Bm7               C#m Bm7So I swear I see my reflection
 D   E7      ASomewhere inside these wall


[Chorus]
A         F#m7        Bm7    C#m Bm7I see my light come shining
 D       C#m7          F#m7  E7  AFrom the west unto the eaaaaaaaaast
 A  F#m7    Bm7Any day now any day now
D  E7        AI shall be released


[Verse 3]
A F#m7 Bm7                          C#m    Bm7       Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
   D       E7                AA man who says he's not to blame
A F#m7                     Bm7  C#m Bm7  All day long I hear him hollering so loud
 D    E7              AJust crying out that he's not to blame


[Chorus]
A         F#m7        Bm7    C#m Bm7I see my light come shining
 D       C#m7          F#m7  E7  AFrom the west unto the eaaaaaaaaast
 A  F#m7    Bm7Any day now any day now
D  E7       D   AI shall be released
