[Intro]
| G | Bm/F# | Em | G |


[Verse]
     G              Bm/F#
I've heard how some people
     Em             G/D
Have said that I've changed
         A7
That I'm not what I was
       Am7         D13
How it really is a shame


[Verse]
    G                 Bm/F#
The thoughts in their heads
    Em            G/D
Manifest on their brow
         A7
Like bad scars from ill feelings
     Am7         D13
They themselves arouse


[Pre-Chorus]
   Am         Cdim
So hateful of anyone 
        G        E
That is happy or free
     Am             Cdim
They live all their lives
        G          E
Without looking to see


[Chorus]
    A9             Am9        [ G ]
The light that has lighted the world

[Verse]
     G         Bm/F#
It's funny how people
     Em           G/D
Just won't accept change
      A7
As if nature itself 
          Am7      D13
They'd prefer re-arranged


[Verse]
   G            Bm/F#
So hard to move on
            Em        G/D
When you're down in a hole
              A7
Where there's so little chance
     Am7      D13
To experience soul


[Pre-Chorus]
    Am          Cdim
I'm grateful to anyone
        G        E
That is happy or free
    Am       Cdim
For giving me hope
          G          E
While I'm looking to see


[Chorus]
    A9             Am9        [ G ]
The light that has lighted the world
