INTRO: G C G C
G
Once I sat upon a hill

   C
To watch the world go by

   G
My friend the young magician

       C
Had forbidden me to cry

    Am7
But I was the comedian

         D                  Dsus2
With the laughs in short supply
CHORUS:
G        C      D
Shine on silver sun

G        C    D
Shine on everyone

G        C      D
Shine on silver sun

      C  G  C  G
Shine on

G
The sunlight filtered softly through

    C
The pale and watery sky

   G
To catch the mirrored salmon

      C
As it rose to take the fly

    Am7
The flowers on the riverbank

     D             Dsus2
Were left alone to die
CHORUS:
G        C      D

BRIDGE:
    D
The church bells sounded midnight

     Am7     D       Am7
As I rose to say goodbye
A solitary tear fell from
    D
The corner of my eye_____
