Shine

This was the last song I recorded for the archive project volume 2 - Back on the Cam. I scored a cheesy brass section for it then and said at the time it would be nice to try it with real brass. Now, thanks to Jon Garvey, I've finally got my wish!

words and music by Martin Stirrup 1974 - rerecorded 2011 -with more crazy sax from Jon garvey

17 Shine 1974   (main guitar riff played in E capot 3)
G      Am         G        Am               G          Am       G      Am
I can’t tell you what to say you don’t need my guiding light at all
G        Am        G    Am    G                   Am   G       Am
If your fine or if you’re fey      what does it matter if we fall
Am      Bm                C                 Bm           Am  G       
We can surely find a way to make it shine
A m           Em                C     Bm   C (G    Am)4    
Yes we can surely find a way to make it shine

Skies are blue or skies are grey you still need the earth on which you stand
Take it slow but take it any way sometimes you’re gonna need a helping hand
(G Am)2       up to break
Bm                                            Am  Am7    Am   Am7
See the light above you showering down
Bm                                                            Am  Am7     Am   Am7
Don’t you think you should stop your running around
                        Am   Am7   Bm        Am        G      Am)4    
Tearing the ground       until it all comes tumbling down

So try disguise or make it plain you know I’ll be here just the same
Use your eyes but don’t lose your brain I know the rules to all your games

See the light above you showering down
Don’t you think you should stop your running around
Tearing the ground until it all comes tumbling down

I can’t tell you what to say you don’t need my guiding light at all
If your fine or if you’re fey what does it matter if we fall
We can surely find a way to make it shine
Yes we can surely find a way to make it shine
Shine on me… Shine on me…
Shine on me… Shine on me…
Shine on me… Shine on me…
Shine on me… Shine on me…
