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       D/G              C  
He left a boy, came back a man
G
She started running when she saw his face
G
It'd been 655 days
C/G       D/G      C
Since she held his hand
Em             G
He got down on one knee
Em            G
And he pulled out that ring
Em                G
That he bought in Aberdeen
            D
And when it hit that New York sky


(chorus)
   G 
It shined just like a spotlight
  Am
A star up in the night sky
    C                                         Am Em C D,
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
    G
Her eyes sparkled like that diamond
     Am
With love beaming from 'em
    C                                D
The kind of light that's never gonna fade
           G 
It's gonna shine


(verse)
G
For the next 55 years
G
Through the laughter and the tears
C/G        D/C              C   
My grandma always wore that band
G
Through atom bombs and a baby boom
G
A Dr. King and a man on the moon
C/G         D/G      C 
No it never left her hand
Em             G
On the day she passed away
Em               G
Mama put it on a chain
Em              G 
Now and then on special days
          D 
Mom would hang it on her neck



(chorus)
             G
And it would shine just like a spotlight
  Am
A star up in the night sky
    C                                         Am Em C D,
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
    G
Her eyes sparkled like that diamond
     Am
With love beaming from 'em
    C                                D                
The kind of light that's never gonna fade
           G
It's gonna shine shine shine
Am                 C  D
Shine shine shine, oh


(bridge)
Bm
Mama said one of these days
C              G
I know why she gave me that ring
Am             D/G          G
Sittin' here I know she was right
  Bm
Oh, it's not the biggest stone you've ever seen
    C                  G 
But girl I can promise you one thing
Am              D 
That for rest of your life


(chorus-out) 
           G
It's gonna shine just like a spotlight
  Am
A star up in the night sky
    C                                         Am Em C D,
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
     G
Your eyes sparkled like that diamond
     Am
With love beaming from 'em
    C                                       D
The kind of light that's never, never, never gonna fade
           G
It's gonna shine, shine, shine
Am
Shine, shine, shine
C
Shine, shine, shine
       Am     Em         C
Like a beacon calling me home
     D     G     Am
It's gonna shine
         C                   D  G
Oh yeah, shine, shine, shine
