(Riff) | A --- D | A --- D | A --- D | A |

[Verse 1]
      A
Now I told you a long time ago
         A                            G
That I'd hold you, never let you go behind me
D                A
Anywhere I might flow

[Verse 2]
      A
And I know you, believin' in me
      A
And I hope you are seein' my dream
  G                           D                     A
A whole lot of people in this world just a-runnin' 'round

[Pre-Chorus]
           D
And it's a long way in the face of fear
              Bm                                   A
And there's a lot of men left without any tears anymore
    D
And money is the name in the game of fame
        Bm                                       A
But the music don't come out a-quite the same anymore

[Chorus]
                 A        B7
It's all about a - bright white light
G                             F#m
Shinin' through your mind and guidin' your way
A7                            A
Mama, put your arms around me -
A7                                  A
Fill me with your joy and rock me tonight
         A        B7
I said a - bright white light
G                             F#m             |A  | A |
Shinin' through your mind and guidin' your way-ee

[Verse 3]
           A
Woo, an' I told you a long time ago
         A                            G
That I'd hold you, never let you go behind me
D                A
Anywhere I might flow

[Verse 4]
         A
And I'll hold you in winter and spring
      A
And behold you in everything I sing
G                     D                A
Bein' in your arms is just like comin' home

[Pre-Chorus]
           D
And it's a long way in the face of fear
              Bm                                   A
And there's a lot of men left without any tears anymore
    D
And money is the name in the game of fame
        Bm                                       A
But the music don't come out a-quite the same anymore

[Chorus]
                 A        B7
It's all about a - bright white light
G                             F#m             |A  | A |
Shinin' through your mind and guidin' your way-ee
A        B7

G                             F#m
Shinin' through your mind and guidin' your way
A7                            A
Mama, put your arms around me -
A7                                  A
Fill me with your joy and rock me tonight
        A        B7
I said, - Bright white light

Shinin' through your mind and guidin' your way-ee
