A                            Bm
They say everything can be replaced

C#m        Bm              A    
 Yet every distance is not near

A                    Bm
 So I remember every face

C#m       Bm             A    E7 *
 Of every man who put me here.
[Chorus]
A                   Bm
I see my light come shining

C#m       Bm            A
 From the west unto the east.

 Any day now,

I   shall be released

They say every man needs protection.

C#m             Bm       A    
 They say every man must fall.

A                       Bm
 Yet I swear I see my reflection,

C#m           Bm             A    E7
 Somewhere so high above the wall.
[Chorus]
A                   Bm
I see my light come shining

 From the west unto the east.

A                                Bm
Well yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd,

C#m        Bm               A     
 A man who swears he not to blame.

A                            Bm
 All day long I hear him cry shouting loud,

C#m          Bm             A      E7
 Calling out that he's been framed.
[Chorus]
A                   Bm
I see my light come shining

C#m       Bm            A
 From the west unto the east.

A
Any day now,

Bm
 Any day now,

C#m Bm         A
I   shall be released
