Soulshine
by Warren Haynes 

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

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

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

[Chorus]
