Gov't Mule - Soulshine (Guitar Chords)

(Warren Haynes)

B F# E B   

When you can't find the light, that got you through the cloudy days,    

B F# E B   

When the stars ain't shinin' bright, you feel like you've lost you're way,    

B F# E B   

When those candle lights of home, burn so very far away,    

B F# G#m A   

Well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say.    

B F#   

He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,    

E B   

It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.    

B F#   

Hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime,    

G#m A B   

Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

End Chorus -------------

I grew up thinkin' that I had it made, gonna make it on my own.    

Life can take the strongest man, make him feel so alone.    

Now and then I feel a cold wind, blowin' through my achin' bones,    

I think back to what my daddy said, he said "Boy, in the darkness before the dawn:"    

{Chorus}    

G#m E   

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,    

E B   

Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.    

D#m E   

A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.    

A F#   

And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.
