if I ever feel the light again    shining down on me

  A                                  
  G

I dont have to tell you        how welcome it would be
           
  Bm                         
  G
I felt the light before        but I let it slip away

  G                
  D

most of the picking is
 ------*---*--|
 -------*---*-|
 --------*----|
 ---*---------|
 --*----------|
 -*-----------|

in the D majors, there's plenty of this little hammer-on going on
 -----0h2-------|
 ---3----3--3---|
 --2------2--3--|
 -0-------------|


G is 355433, everything else is open (except maybe in the intro where Bm
and Em are played at the 7th fret. maybe)
