Shine

Words & Music:

(Tabbed by JDFreeSoul)

 

Guitar is tuned to open E (E B E G# B E).  Don't leave the guitar in this tuning when you are not playing, since you are moving strings up in pitch.  It will be too much stress on the guitar.

E                                 E/A        E/G#

I can see it in your eyes, what I know in my heart is true.

E/A     E                                  E/A   E* E/C# E/C#* E/C# E* E

That our love, it has faded like the summer run through.

   E/C#                               E/C#*  E/C#  E*  E

So, we'll walk down the shoreline one last time together.

    E/C#                         E/C#*  E/C#  E*  E

Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts like a feather.

 

        E/C#                  E/C#*  E/C#  E*  E

But, who knows what's waiting in the wings of time.

E                       E/C#     E/Eb   E

Dry your eyes, we gotta go where we can shine.

 

 

E                                        E/A      E/G#

Don't be hiding in sorrow or clinging to the past.

E/A     E                                  E/A  E* E/C# E/C#* E/C# E* E

With your beauty so precious and the season so fast.

   E/C#                  E/C#*  E/C#  E*  E

No matter how cold the horizon appear,

   E/C#                         E/C#*  E/C#  E*  E

Or how far the first night when I held you near.

         E/C#                          E/C#*  E/C#  E*  E

You gotta rise from these ashes like a bird of flame.

E                                  E/C#     E/Eb   E

Step out of the shadow we've gotta go where we can shine.

 

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO:

 

E                                         E/A      E/G#

For all that we struggle, for all we pretend,

E/A      E                                   E/A E* E/C# E/C#* E/C# E* E

It don't come down to nothing except love in the end.

    E/C#                    E/C#*  E/C#  E*  E

And ours is the road that is strewn with goodbyes.

    E/C#                 E/C#*  E/C#  E*  E

But as it unfolds, as it all unwinds,

              E/C#                  E/C#*  E/C#  E*  E

Remember your soul is the one thing you can't compromise.

E                        E/C#     E/Eb   E

Take my hand we're gonna go where we can shine.

            E/C#     E/Eb   E

We're gonna go where we can shine.

            E/C#     E/Eb   E      E/A   E   E/A

We're gonna go where we can shine.

E                   E/A   E

(And look, and look,)

            E                                  E/A   E

Through the windows of midnight moonfoam and silver.
