Darius Rucker, "Shine"
(intro)
G Am C Am Em C D, G Am C G D,
(verse)
[G]November of '43
[G]On a boat coming 'cross the sea
[C/G]He left a [D/G]boy, came back a [C]man
[G]She started running when she saw his face
[G]It'd been 655 days
[C/G]Since she [D/G]held his [C]hand
[Em]He got down on [G]one knee
[Em]And he pulled [G]out that ring
[Em]That he bought in [G]Aberdeen
And when it [D]hit that New York sky
(chorus)
It [G]shined just like a spotlight
A [Am]star up in the night sky
C Am Em C D,
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
Her [G]eyes sparkled like that diamond
With [Am]love beaming from 'em
The [C]kind of light that's never gonna [D]fade
It's gonna [G]shine
(verse)
[G]For the next 55 years
[G]Through the laughter and the tears
[C/G]My grandma [D/C]always wore that [C]band
[G]Through atom bombs and a baby boom
[G]A Dr. King and a man on the moon
[C/G]No it never [D/G]left her [C]hand
[Em]On the day she [G]passed away
[Em]Mama put it on a [G]chain
[Em]Now and then on [G]special days
Mom would [D]hang it on her neck
(chorus)
And it would [G]shine just like a spotlight
A [Am]star up in the night sky
C Am Em C D,
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
Her [G]eyes sparkled like that diamond
With [Am]love beaming from 'em
The [C]kind of light that's never gonna [D]fade
It's gonna [G]shine shine shine
[Am]Shine shine shine, [C]oh[D]
(bridge)
[Bm]Mama said one of these days
[C]I know why she [G]gave me that ring
[Am]Sittin' here I [D/G]know she was [G]right
Oh[Bm], it's not the biggest stone you've ever seen
But [C]girl I can promise [G]you one thing
[Am]That for rest of[D] your life
(chorus-out)
It's gonna [G]shine just like a spotlight
A [Am]star up in the night sky
C Am Em C D,
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
Your [G]eyes sparkled like that diamond
With [Am]love beaming from 'em
The [C]kind of light that's never, never, never[D] gonna fade
It's gonna [G]shine, shine, shine
[Am]Shine, shine, shine
[C]Shine, shine, shine
Like a [Am]beacon [Em]calling me [C]home
It's [D]gonna [G]shine[Am]
Oh yeah, [C]shine, shine, shine[D][G]
