A beatufil folk-song by the german band called "Porters". I was surprised when I couldn't find any tab of
them here, so I hope you like it. Enjoy.
Intro: Em C G D x2
Verse:
Em C G D
Deep in your heart there was once a diamond shining bright
Em C G D
Every dark place you passed by turned into light
Em C D Em
But somebody broke into your heart and blew out your lights
D G
And your sparkling little diamond turned pale overnight
Em C G D
What the hell has become of that pretty girl so sweet and nice
Em C G D
Where have remaind your insatiable thirst after life
Em C D Em
Girl what ever they have done to you, where ever you are
D G
No ever so big force on earth could kill a burning hearts
Chorus:
Em C
Shine on, shine on
G D
Don't let the bastards drag you down
Em C G D
Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm
Em C D Em
Shine on and on, and keep the fire burnings
Em C D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
/Here comes somekind of guitar solo, but just Em C G D x2 times sounds fine/
Em C G D
Your train ran off the rails, hey girl you didn't lay the tracks
Em C G D
If you wanna reach for the sky you have to go through hell and back
Em C D Em
Don't deliver girl, let me take you by the hand
D G
At the end of the rainbow the way of cross still ends
Chorus:
Em C
Shine on, shine on
G D
Don't let the bastards drag you down
Em C G D
Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm
Em C D Em
Shine on and on, and keep the fire burnings
Em C D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
/Violin solo, then drums and piano, you just strum all the chords once/
Em C D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Em C D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Em C D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
Em C D
Shine on, shine on, shine on (mute)
Don't let the bastards drag you down!
/Speed up/
Em C
Shine on, shine on
G D
Don't let the bastards drag you down
Em C G D
Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm
Em C D Em
Shine on and on, and keep the fire burnings
Em C D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
/Strum once, then finish it only with your voice as sad as you can :)/
Em C D
Shine on, shine on, shine on
D
Don't let the bastards drag you down...
