Darius Rucker – Shine (Ukulele)

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

   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

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

             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

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

           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
