[Intro] |G |G |Em |Em |D |D |C [Verse 1]
   G
I remember once I broke down in the country

       Em
I was sixteen with a broken heart in bloom

       D
And I walked home through the pines

                       G
Nobody saw me but the moon

      G
By sunrise I could hear the church bells ringing

   Em
I got there as the saints were marching in

   D
I sat down on the back row

                           G
And heard the story once again
[Chorus]
         Em
And the servants of the secret fire

      D
Were gathered there

     Am            G
The embers of the ages

       C             D
Like a living prayer

     Em                            D
And all at once I saw the shadows flee

  C    D     C   Am G      Em
Shine your light on me, on me

       D
Be a light unto my path

                    G
And a lamp unto my feet
[Verse 2]
       G
They flew us down to oklahoma city

          Em
Yeah, but I could hardly stand there on the stage

    D
So sick I couldn't speak

                         G
And the fever wouldn't break

              G
But when I stepped up to the microphone I heard it

             Em
It was the voices of the brothers at my side

            D                 C
They were singing out my song

                          G
When the song in me had died
[Chorus]
Em  D    C    D     C   D  Em
   Oh, shine your light on me
Em C Em C
   Em                                   C
Somebody come and get me when I'm gone

   Em                                                          C
Somebody come and get me when I'm gone, get me when I'm gone
[Verse 3]
       G
Two years ago I drove into a darkness

   Em
I straightened every curve on cane ridge road

             D
And I could hear the flapping wings

                       G
Of every devil I have known

          G
And the inside of my car was like a casket

              Em
But then it flooded with a blaze of sacred light

         D
She was calling me back home

                          G     D
And as I pulled into the drive
[Chorus]
             Em
I knew the servants of the secret fire

      D
Were gathered there

     Am            G
The embers of the ages

       C             D
Like a living prayer

          Em                                 D
She was standing on the porch where I could see

  C    D     C   Am G      Em
Shine your light on me, on me

       D
Be a light unto my path

                    G
And a lamp unto my feet

           D                C
Oh, be a light unto my path

                    C     G
And a lamp unto my feet
