Robbie Robertson – Shine Your Light chords

F#m                         D The cry of the city like a siren's song 
F#m                        D Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long 
F#m                            D Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky 
E Must be someone's soul passing by 
 

F#m These are the streets 
            D Where we used to run where your Papa's from 
F#m These are the days 
               D Where you become what you become 
F#m These are the streets 
            D             Where the story's told 
 
The truth unfolds 
       E Darkness settles in      Oh-Oh 
 

        D            A       E               F#m Shine your light down on me 
        D                A      E      F#m Lift me up so I can see 
        D            A      E            F#m Shine your light when you're gone 
        D                 A Give me the strength 
          E           A            D ? A  To carry on, carry on 
 

F#m       Don't wanna be a hero 
                D Just an everyday man 
F#m                          D Trying to do the job the very best he can 
F#m                           D But now it's like living on borrowed time 
     E Out on the rim , over the line 
 

F#m                              D Always tempting fate like a game of chance 
F#m                             D Never wanna stick around to the very last dance 
F#m                          D Sometimes I stumble and take a hard fall 
     E Loose hold your grip off the wall 
 
 
       D            A       E              F#m Shine your light down on me 
       D                A  E           F#m Lift me up so I can see 
        D            A      E            F#m Shine your light when you're gone 
        D                A            E Give me the strength to carry on 
                       D ? A Carry on 
 
 
Bm                           E I thought I saw him walking by the side of the road 
D                        A Maybe trying to find his way home 
           Bm He's here but not here     
            E He's gone but not gone 
        D                   E            E Just hope he knows if I get lost 
 

         D            A       E              F#m Shine your light down on me 
        D                A  E           F#m Lift me up so I can see 
        D            A      E                    F#m Shine your light when you're gone 
         D              A            E Give me the strength to carry on 
      A Carry on
