[Intro Riff Two]
Basically same fingering one the 14th fret instead of the 2nd

[Verse]
A              E               D                         A
When you can't find the light, that got you through the cloudy days,
A                    E                    D                    A
When the stars ain't shinin' bright, you feel like you've lost you're way,
A                 E               D                A
When those candle lights of home, burn so very far away,
A                         E           F#m                        G
Well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say.

[Chorus]
                A                           E
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
                  D                                A
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
                A                            E
Hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime,
               F#m           G                        A
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

[Verse Two]
A                                 E
I grew up thinkin' that I had it made, gonna make it on my own.
 A                  E             D        A
Life can take the strongest man, make him feel so alone.
 A                     E          D                A
Now and then I feel a cold wind, blowin' through my achin' bones,
A                         E                  F#m                    G
I think back to what my daddy said, he said "Boy, in the darkness before the 
dawn:"

[Chorus]
                A                           E
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
                  D                                A
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
                A                            E
Hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime,
               F#m           G                        A
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

[Bridge]
F#m                   D
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
       D                                A
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
  C#m                            D
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
G                                          E
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.

[Solo]
Consists of intro riffs

[Chorus]
                A                           E
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
                  D                                A
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
                A                            E
Hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime,
               F#m           G                        A
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
