Shine My Way chords

Shine My Way

• E

Hey guys, I really love this Sheppard-Song so I just made the tabs for you with my guitar teacher,
hope you like it :) if you struggle with the "special" chords just look down here ;) 
"Shine my Way" is kinda blues song, but also has popular music elements. As usual in this genre, you 
can find major7-chords, which have got this typical bluesy warm and open sound. Also, the original 
song is performed on a piano, but the chords are basically the same, so just try out :)

E                        
Everybody wants a little love in their lives
        A                    E
And I think it's about that time
E
Everybody's looking for a spark in their eye
B7                        E                                
And I think I just found mine
E                                      E/D
I'm gonna sing up to the heavens how I feel today
A                                  Am
Lordy please don't take my lovely lady away
B7                         A7                      E     A E
Finally the sun is shining all of these rays my way


In the original song there are some clapping sounds. If you try to do this, just hit your 
fretboard with your flat hand every time i made an 'x'

            E            x      E         x
Said I'm feelin' the sunshine down on my skin,
             A           x                 E      x
But I can't tell if the warmth is coming from within
  E           x           E               x
Sending the good vibes straight from my heart
           B7              x         E    x
Because I know that this woman is a new start
           E     x     E/D     x
For my blissful past I blame nobody
A        x        Am        x
I'm just happy I found my honey
B7           x              A7            x        E   x  A E
Finally the sun is shining all of these rays my way


             E        G         A        E
Now we can shine, oh shine, oh shine my way
                F#7              A                 B7
'cause for the first time in my life I'm gonna be okay (Gonna be okay)
                 E            G
'cause although time made me cry,
                A             E
To this heavy load I say goodbye
           F#7            A                 E   A E
There's nothing else out here but the blue sky
                 F#7             Am      E
Oh no, there's nothing else out here

  E
Everybody's left there love a ruin at their feet 
         A                       E
Now I'm all geared up to start sewing a seat
           E
They will kid you, my heart, but it's about to be free
       B7
I can tell you right now that I'm holding the key
         E                    E/D
You know, I will tell you to die,
       A                   Am
But you gave me reason to fly, it's true
B7                          A                    E  A E
Finally the sun is shining all of these rays my way

                 E            G
'cause although time made me cry,
                A             E
To this heavy load I say goodbye
           F#7            A                 E   A E
There's nothing else out here but the blue sky

There's nothing else out here but blue blue sky.
