Intro: Em C G D (2x)

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...
