C                        G
 Saw you stretched out in Room Ten O Nine
        Am                       G
 With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye
 F                     C          G    F               C   G
 Couldn't see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love
 
 Berber jew'lry jangling down the street
 Make you shut your eyes at ev'ry woman that you meet
 Could not seem to get a high on you, my sweet honey love
 

[Chorus]

  C                         G
  May the good Lord shine a light on you
  Am         F            C              G
  Make every song you sing your favorite tune
  May the good Lord shine a light on you
  Warm like the evening sun
 

[Verse]
 
 Well, you're in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn
 And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn
 Just seemed too many flies on you, I can't brush them off
 Angels beating all their wings in time
 With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes
 Thought I heard on sigh for you
 Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now
 

[Chorus]

  C                         G
  May the good Lord shine a light on you
  Am         F            C              G
  Make every song you sing your favorite tune
  May the good Lord shine a light on you
  Warm like the evening sun
