[Intro]
D

[Chorus]
         G      A                D               G
Shine It On, my man, forget your troubles if you can
     Em                A              D            A
I'll hold you 'till the dawn, Shine It On, Shine It On
            G               A               D          G
You've been too long on the road and you're ready to explode
         Em             A              D
Come and lighten up your load, Shine It On.

D                                 G
We had love and not much more but dreams just for free
A                                       D
We sure got lost there, dad and mom and me
                                           G                  Em
He'd let me steer on straight a ways as we drove from town to town
   A                                                     D
We knew that daddy's gypsy blood wouldn't let him settle down.

           D                          G                   Em
There were times he'd sit right down, just plain hang his head
         A                                         D
But he'd always lift it up and smile whenever mama said.

[Chorus]
D#                                 G#
Papa's gone but Lord his blood is running through my veins
A#                                             D#
Mama's gone to find him, so she can't ease my pain
                                        G#        F
Another woman holds me now, in a little different way
A#                                              D#
Now I know why papa smiled, when he heard mama say.

[Chorus 2]
         G#     A#                D#               G#
Shine It On, my man, forget your troubles if you can
     F                  A#              D#            A#
I'll hold you 'till the dawn, Shine It On, Shine It On
            G#              A#               D          G#
You've been too long on the road and you're ready to explode
         F               A#              D#
Come and lighten up your load, Shine It On.
