Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
I remember once [G]I
broke down in the country
I was six[Em]teen with a broken
heart in bloom
[D]And I walked home through
the pines
Nobody saw me but the moon
[G]

[Verse 2]
By sunrise I could hear
the church bells ringing
I got [Em]there as the saints were marching in
[D]I sat down on the back row
And heard the story [G]once [D]again

[Verse 3]
And the [Em]servants of the secret fire
Were [D]gathered there
The [Am]em bers of t[G]he ages
Like a [C]living [D]prayer
And [Em]all at once I saw
the shad[D]ows flee
[C]Shine [D]your [C]light on [G]me, [Em]on me
Be [D]a light unto my path
And a lamp unto [G]my feet

[Verse 4]
They flew [G]us down to Oklahoma City
Yeah, but [Em]I could hardly
stand there on the stage
So [D]sick I couldn't speak
And the fever wouldn't [G]break

[Verse 5]
But when [G]I stepped up to
the microphone I heard it
It was the [Em]voices of
the brothers at my side
They were [D]singing out my song
When the song in me [G]had died

[Verse 6]
[Em]Oh, [D]shin[C]e your[D] lig[C]ht on
[D]me

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C]
[Em][C]

[Verse 7]
Some[Em]body come and get me
when I'm gone
[C][G]

[Verse 8]
[Em]
[C]Two [G]years ago I drove into
a darkness
[Em]I straightened every curve
on Cane Ridge Road
And I [D]could hear the flapping wings
Of every devil [G]I have known

[Verse 9]
And the [G]inside of my car
was like a casket
But then [Em]it flooded with a
blaze of sacred light
She was [D]calling me back home
And as I pulled [G]into [D]the drive

[Verse 10]
I knew the ser[Em]vants of the secret fire
Were [D]gathered there
The [Am]embers of [G]the ages
Like a [C]living [D]prayer
She was [Em]standing on the porch
where I [D]could see
[C]Shine [D]your [C]light [D]on [G]me, [Em]on me
Be [D]a light unto my path
And a [G]lamp [D]unto my [C]fee[D]t[C]
