Chris de Burgh - Shine On From the albums: Power of Ten (1992) and Beautiful Dreams (1995) Comment for any corrections and please rate The chords I wrote here match the song Shine On from the album Beautiful Dreams, Though they can also be played along the original from the album Power of Ten. Verse 1:

^F I was looking at a photograph, Taken in a garden l^Dong before the war,^Gm And out on the l^Bbmawn, There were^F old men and d^Amogs and little childr^Dmen, All of them g^Gmone.^F. forever ^C

Verse 2:

^F There were people by the waterside, Standing in the same place wh^Dere I am today,^Gm Nothing has ch^Bbmanged, But you know,^F that time is m^Amoving like a riv^Dmer, It can only be l^Gmove.^F. forever ^C

Pre-Chorus:

^BbAaaah ^CAaaah ^BbOoooh ^COoooh Chorus: We^F shine ^Con, br^Dmighter than the s^Fun, L^Bbive for every m^Foment, bef^Gmore the moment's g^Cone, We^F shine ^Con, y^Dmou and me ton^Fight, W^Bbay across the ^Funiverse, B^Gmurning like a f^Cire in the n^Fight ^C ^Bb ^C

Verse 3:

^F There are those who can never cross, The space between a f^Dather and a son^Gm, When they are y^Bbmoung, We must^F say all the w^Amords that should be spok^Dmen, Before they are l^Gmost.^F. forever ^C

Verse 4:

^F And I was looking at a photograph, Taken from a window w^Day above the world,^Gm We've got to l^Bbmearn, We must l^Feave here a g^Amarden for our childr^Dmen, When we are g^Gmone.^F. forever ^C

Pre-Chorus:

^F Shine on.^C..^Dm ^F ^Bb ^F ^Gm ^C Leave here a g^Farden^C for the ch^Dmildren,^F Leave here a n^Bbew world,^F ^GmOoo^Ch In the n^Bbight^C, in the n^Bbight Burning like a f^Cire in the n^Fight...
