Version 1 Version 2
            Transcribed by Jarrett Revels
The other chord transcriptions were okay, but there were some inaccuracies so I 
just wrote this up really quickly. 
I also tried to arrange the chords in relation to the lyrics in a more accurate 
fashion as well. Hope it turned out well. 
Make sure to play it with the rhythmic feel of the song; that groove is part of 
what makes this song so appealing.
[Intro]
E - C#m - E - E (repeat) 
[Verse]
            E           C#m          E         E
Let me be your everlasting light
       E              C#m      E         E
The sun when there is none 
         E                  
I'm a shepherd for you 
            C#m
And I'll guide you through
            E           C#m          E 
Let me be your everlasting light
E                       C#m          E        E
Let me be your everlasting light 
     E             C#m  E           E
I'll hold and never scold
    E
In me you can confide
          C#m 
When no one's by your side
            E           C#m          E        E
Let me be your everlasting light
[Chorus]
F#m               E
       Oh baby,   can't you see
F#m                               E
       I'm shining just for you
F#m                     E
       Loneliness is over 
       A      G#m      F#m
The dark days are through
F#m            E
      They're through
[Verse]
            E           C#m          E       E
Let me be your everlasting light
    E                C#m          E        E
A train going away from pain
E 
Love is the coal 
        C#m
That makes this train roll
            E           C#m          E      E
Let me be your everlasting light 
[Outro]
the rest of the song just rides the rhythm with the E chord.
