INTRO: G C  G C
 
G
Once I sat upon a hill
   C
To watch the world go by
   G
My friend the young magician
       C
Had forbidden me to cry
    Am7
But I was the comedian
         D                  Dsus2
With the laughs in short supply
 
 
CHORUS:
G        C      D
Shine on silver sun
G        C    D
Shine on everyone
G        C      D
Shine on silver sun
      C  G  C  G
Shine on
 
 
G
The sunlight filtered softly through
    C
The pale and watery sky
   G
To catch the mirrored salmon
      C
As it rose to take the fly
    Am7
The flowers on the riverbank
     D             Dsus2
Were left alone to die
 
 
CHORUS:
G        C      D
Shine on silver sun
G        C    D
Shine on everyone
G        C      D
Shine on silver sun
      C  G  C  G
Shine on
 
 
BRIDGE:
    D
The church bells sounded midnight
     Am7     D       Am7
As I rose to say goodbye
 
A solitary tear fell from
    D
The corner of my eye_____
 
 
CHORUS:
G        C      D
Shine on silver sun
G        C    D
Shine on everyone
G        C      D
Shine on silver sun
G        C    D
Shine on everyone
G        C      D
Shine on silver sun
G        C    D
Shine on everyone
G        C      D
Shine on silver sun
      C  G  C  G
Shine on
      C  G  C  G
Shine on
