Chords

Transcribed by Jarrett Revels The other chord transcriptions were okay, but there were some inaccuracies so I just wrote this up really quickly. I also tried to arrange the chords in relation to the lyrics in a more accurate fashion as well. Hope it turned out well. Make sure to play it with the rhythmic feel of the song; that groove is part of what makes this song so appealing. [Intro] E - C#m - E - E (repeat) [Verse]
            E           C#m          E         E
Let me be your everlasting light

       E              C#m      E         E
The sun when there is none 

         E                  
I'm a shepherd for you 

            C#m
And I'll guide you through

            E           C#m          E 
Let me be your everlasting light

E                       C#m          E        E
Let me be your everlasting light 

     E             C#m  E           E
I'll hold and never scold

    E
In me you can confide

          C#m 
When no one's by your side

            E           C#m          E        E
Let me be your everlasting light
[Chorus]
F#m               E
       Oh baby,   can't you see

F#m                               E
       I'm shining just for you

F#m                     E
       Loneliness is over 

       A      G#m      F#m
The dark days are through

F#m            E
      They're through
[Verse]
            E           C#m          E       E
Let me be your everlasting light

    E                C#m          E        E
A train going away from pain

E 
Love is the coal 

        C#m
That makes this train roll

            E           C#m          E      E
Let me be your everlasting light
[Outro] the rest of the song just rides the rhythm with the E chord.
