C                    G
You were born in a small town
F                  Am                G
Always had dreams bigger than your brother,
you know it
 C                     G
Hit the road where it forks down
F                     Am             G
Made good decisions, start from the gutter,
you know it

Am               G
Big city lives, fast lane living but
F                      C     G
You never forgot your roots, oh ooh
Am             G
Back in town, daddy's advice
F                        G
Baby don’t forget that you

Chorus:
         C                             G
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
                        F
Shine a light, shine a light
Everywhere you go
         C                              G
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
                        F
Shine a light, shine a light

Everyone you know
         C   G F
Shine a light
         C   G F
Shine a light

You've struggled before now
Each time you made out the other side
Pick yourself up when you fall down
Stand tall and never be afraid to cry

Big city life, same thing, different town
Darling don't forget your roots, well
Back in town, momma’s advice
Baby don't forget that you

Chorus:
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
Everywhere you go
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
With everyone you know
Shine a light, yeah
Shine a light

Dm
People love and people cry
G
People live and people die
          C                            F
And I'll never meet another life like you

Dm
Every day and every night
 G
Teaching you wrong from right
                 C                  F
Now you get to shine a light don't you, don't you

Chorus:
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
Everywhere you go
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
Let everybody know
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
Everywhere you go
Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, shine a light
With everyone you know
Shine a light
Shine a light

You were born in a small town
