[Verse 1]
           C               Am             F           G
There's a Light that was shining when the world began

        C            G             C
and a Light that is shining in the Heart of  man

           C              Am           F             G
There's a Light that is shining in the Turk and the Jew

           C             G                  G
There's a Light that is shining, friend, in me and in you.
[Chorus]
  C           Am         F          G
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be

  C           Am         F           G
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be

         C            G               Am             G
With my old leather britches and my shaggy, shaggy locks

        C             G            C
I am walking in the glory of the Light, said Fox
[Verse 2]
        C            Am          F          G
With a book and a steeple and a bell and a key

             C         G               C
They would bind it forever, but they can't, said he

         C            Am             F             G
O, the book, it will perish and the steeple will fall

          C            G             C
But the Light will be shining at the end of it all.
[Chorus]
  C           Am         F          G
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be

  C           Am         F           G
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be

         C            G               Am             G
With my old leather britches and my shaggy, shaggy locks

        C             G            C
I am walking in the glory of the Light, said Fox
[Verse 3]
            C            Am             F           G
"Will you swear on the Bible?" "I will not!"  said he,

           C             G             C
"For the Truth is more holy than the book to me."

         C          Am               F              G
"If we give you a pistol, will you fight for the Lord?"

         C               G           C
"No you can't kill the devil with a gun or a sword."
[Chorus]
  C           Am         F          G
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be

Walk in the Light, wherever you may be

         C            G               Am             G
With my old leather britches and my shaggy, shaggy locks

        C             G            C
I am walking in the glory of the Light, said Fox
[Verse 4]
             C          Am            F             G
There's an ocean of darkness and I drowned in the night

         C               G               C
Till I came through the darkness to the ocean of Light

         C          Am             F              G
You can lock me in prison, but the Light will be free.

         C            G            C
And I'll walk in the glory of the Light, said he.
[Chorus]
  C           Am         F          G
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be

  C           Am         F           G
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be

         C            G               Am             G
With my old leather britches and my shaggy, shaggy locks

        C             G            C
I am walking in the glory of the Light, said Fox
