SHED A LITTLE LIGHT by James Taylor
Chords by Jon Edward Ferner Diesen


Fdim                  Fm#
Let us turn our thoughts today
    Bm    A       E
To martin luther king
                             A       A/C#
And recognize that there are ties between us
D   Fdim      F#m      
All men and women
E      A/C#    D
Living on the earth
Bm      A        E       Fm7
Ties of hope and love
Bm7        A      E
Sister and brotherhood
            A        A/C#
That we are bound together
         D       Fdim    F#m
In our desire to see the world become
   E       A/C#      D
A place in which our children
A        Bm    A   E
Can grow free and strong
       A       A/C#
We are bound together
        D        Fdim     F#m
By the task that stands before us
        E         A/C#   D
And the road that lies ahead
A      Bm           A    E
We are bound and we are bound


F#m7  E/G#                  A       Bbdim     Bm       A/C#  D   Fdim
                 There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
F#m7  E/G#                  A      Bbdim  Bm     A/C#    D     Fdim   
                 There is a hunger in the center of the chest
F#m7  E/G#                  A       Bbdim       Bm       A/C#    D   Fdim
                 There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
F#m7  E/G#                      A    Bbdim      Bm         A/C#  D
                 And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest


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


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


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

                 There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
F#m7  E/G#                  A      Bbdim  Bm     A/C#    D     Fdim   
                 There is a hunger in the center of the chest
F#m7  E/G#                  A       Bbdim       Bm       A/C#    D   Fdim
