Shed A Little Light Chords & Lyrics - James Taylor

[Fdim]Let us turn our though[Fm#]ts today
To m[Bm]artin [A]luther k[E]ing
And recognize that there are [A]ties bet[A/C#]ween us
[D]All [Fdim]men and wo[F#m]men
[E]Living [A/C#]on the e[D]arth
[Bm]Ties of [A]hope and [E]love [Fm7]
[Bm7]Sister and [A]brother[E]hood
That we are [A]bound tog[A/C#]ether
In our de[D]sire to [Fdim]see the [F#m]world become
A p[E]lace in [A/C#]which our [D]children
[A]Can grow [Bm]free a[A]nd s[E]trong
We are [A]bound to[A/C#]gether
By the t[D]ask that [Fdim]stands be[F#m]fore us
And the [E]road that [A/C#]lies ah[D]ead
[A]We are [Bm]bound and we [A]are b[E]ound

[F#m7] [E/G#] There is a [A]feeling [Bbdim]like the c[Bm]lenching [A/C#]of a f[D]ist [Fdim]
[F#m7] [E/G#] There is a [A]hunger [Bbdim]in the [Bm]center [A/C#]of the c[D]hest [Fdim]
[F#m7] [E/G#] There is a [A]passage [Bbdim]through the [Bm]darkness [A/C#]and the [D]mist[Fdim]
[F#m7] [E/G#] And though the [A]body [Bbdim]sleeps the [Bm]heart will [A/C#]never [D]rest

[E] [A] [C#m] [F#m] [Bm] -[A] -[E]
Shed a little light, oh lord
So that we can [Bm]see [E]
[A] [C#m] [F#m] [Bm] -[A] -[E]
Just a little light, oh lord
Wanna stand it on [Bm]up [E]
[A] [C#m] [F#m] [Bm] -[A] -[E]
Stand it on up, oh lord
Wanna walk it on [Bm]down
[E]Shed a little light, oh [A]lord[A/C#] [D]

[Em]Can't get no [D/F#]light from the dollar bill[A] [Bm7]
[Em]Don't give me no l[D/F#]ight from a tv screen [A] [Bm7]
[Em]When I open my [D/F#]eyes I wanna [C]drink my [F#7]fill
From the [Bm7]well on the hill[E]
[F#m7]do you know what I m[D]ean'

[E] [A] [C#m] [F#m] [Bm] -[A] -[E]
Shed a little light, oh lord
So that we can [Bm]see [E]
[A] [C#m] [F#m] [Bm] -[A] -[E]
Just a little light, oh lord
Wanna stand it on [Bm]up [E]
[A] [C#m] [F#m] [Bm] -[A] -[E]
Stand it on up, oh lord
Wanna walk it on [Bm]down
[A] [A/C#] [A/D] [E] 2x
Shed a little light, oh lord

[F#m7] [E/G#] There is a [A]feeling [Bbdim]like the c[Bm]lenching [A/C#]of a f[D]ist [Fdim]
[F#m7] [E/G#] There is a [A]hunger [Bbdim]in the [Bm]center [A/C#]of the c[D]hest [Fdim]
[F#m7] [E/G#] There is a [A]passage [Bbdim]through the [Bm]darkness [A/C#]and the [D]mist[Fdim]
[F#m7] [E/G#] And though the [A]body [Bbdim]sleeps the [Bm]heart will [A/C#]never [D]rest

[Fdim]Let us turn our though[Fm#]ts today
To m[Bm]artin l[A]uther ki[E]ng
And recognize that there are [A]ties be[A/C#]tween us
[D]All [Fdim]men and wo[F#m]men
[E]Living [A/C#]on the e[D]arth
[Bm]Ties of [A]hope and l[E]ove [Fm7]
[Bm7]Sister and [A]brother[E]hood
