Artist: Matisyahu
Song: I Will Be Light
Album: Shattered
Capo 1
            Am                  Em
Sit back in these day, remember my ways
C                      G
Oh me like it, down in my cage
      Am                    Em
Yes I am a slave, searching for some freedom
          C                      G     Bm
Searching for some freedom, so         then
              Em          Am                    Em
Song just about memories, what is a man with no history
         C         G
Where am I, who am I
             Am                           Em
What is this place we're just spinning in space
Chorus:
          Am                 Em
I will be light, oh yo yo yo yo yo
          C                  G      D/F#
I will be light, oh yo yo yo yo yo
          Am                 Em
I will be light, oh yo yo yo yo yo
          C                  G      D/F#
I will be light, oh yo yo yo yo yo
Am                    Em
Time will continue without you
          C             G
So in the end it's not about you
             Am                 Em
But what did you do, who do you love
  C            G
Besides you, besides you
     Bm                  Em
Many died in the name of vanity
     Am                         Em
Many died in the mind's eye for justice
   C                      G
We died for you and still do 
            Am                   Em
So I say to you, this is nothing new
Chorus
Em   D/F#   G                Am     C
Tiny moment time for life to shine, burn away the darkness 
    Em      D/F# G                  Am              C
You got one tiny moment in time for light to shine, burn away the darkness 
    Em      D/F#      G                Am     C
You got one moment in time for life to shine, burn away the darkness
    Em           D/F#      G                Am     C
You got one tiny moment in time for life to shine, burn away the darkness
    Em           D/F#      G                Am        C
You got one tiny moment in time for life to shine, to burn away the darkness
    Em           D/F#      G                Am        C
You got one tiny moment in time for life to shine, to burn away the darkness
                        Am                Em
Said one tiny moment in time, oh yo yo yo yo
          C                  G      D/F#
I will be light, oh yo yo yo yo yo
