Shed A Little Light
James Taylor
SHED A LITTLE LIGHT by James Taylor Chords by Jon Edward Ferner Diesen Fdim Fm# Let us turn our thoughts today To martin luther king And recognize that there are ties between us D Fdim F#m All men and women Living on the earth Ties of hope and love Sister and brotherhood That we are bound together D Fdim F#m In our desire to see the world become A place in which our children Can grow free and strong We are bound together D Fdim F#m By the task that stands before us And the road that lies ahead We are bound and we are bound There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist There is a hunger in the center of the chest There is a passage through the darkness and the mist And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest Shed a little light oh lord So that we can see Just a little light oh lord Wanna stand it on up Stand it on up oh lord Wanna walk it on down Shed a little light oh lord Can’t get no light from the dollar bill Don’t give me no light from a tv screen When I open my eyes I wanna drink my fill From the well on the hill do you know what I mean? Shed a little light oh lord So that we can see Just a little light oh lord Wanna stand it on up Stand it on up oh lord Wanna walk it on down Shed a little light oh lord There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist There is a hunger in the center of the chest There is a passage through the darkness and the mist And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest Fdim Fm# Let us turn our thoughts today To martin luther king And recognize that there are ties between us D Fdim F#m All men and women Living on the earth Ties of hope and love Sister and brotherhood Chords by Jon Edward Ferner Diesen
