From Emil's Tablature
Rolling Stones
Shine a Light (Jagger/Richards)
From "Exile on Mainstreet"(1972)
It's in C, pretty simple, the key is the G-A-B walk-ups from C/G to C
Verse:
C G
Saw you stretched out in room ten-o-nine
Am
With a smile on your face
G
And a tear right in your eye
F C/G
Couldn't see to get a line on you
G F C/G
My sweet honey love
C G
Berber jew'lry jangling down the street
Am G
Make you shut your eyes at ev'ry woman that you meet
F C/G
Could not seem to get high on you
G F C/G
My sweet honey love
Chorus:
C G
May the good Lord shine a light on you
F C/G
Make every song your favorite tune
C G
May the good Lord shine a light on you
F C/G
Warm like the evening sun
aaaand so on and so forth, enjoy.
The rest of the lyrics:
Well, you're drunk in the alley, baby
With your clothes all torn
And your late night friends
Leave you in the cold grey dawn
Just seemed too many flies on you
I just can't brush them off
Angels beating all their wings in time
With smiles on their faces
And a gleam right in their eyes
Thought I heard one sigh for you
Come on up, come on up, now
Come on up, now
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Make every song you sing your favourite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
Then there's the solo bridge which is over Am - F - G x4 followed by an instrumental run through of the second part of the verse,
and they sing the "come on up" part, and then another chorus
