(verse)
G
November of '43
G
On a boat coming 'cross the sea
C/G D/G C
He left a boy, came back a man
G
She started running when she saw his face
G
It'd been 655 days
C/G D/G C
Since she held his hand
Em G
He got down on one knee
Em G
And he pulled out that ring
Em G
That he bought in Aberdeen
D
And when it hit that New York sky
(chorus)
G
It shined just like a spotlight
Am
A star up in the night sky
C Am Em C D,
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
G
Her eyes sparkled like that diamond
Am
With love beaming from 'em
C D
The kind of light that's never gonna fade
G
It's gonna shine
(verse)
G
For the next 55 years
G
Through the laughter and the tears
C/G D/C C
My grandma always wore that band
G
Through atom bombs and a baby boom
G
A Dr. King and a man on the moon
C/G D/G C
No it never left her hand
Em G
On the day she passed away
Em G
Mama put it on a chain
Em G
Now and then on special days
D
Mom would hang it on her neck

C Am Em C D,
The kind of thing that takes your breath away

Her eyes sparkled like that diamond

With love beaming from 'em

The kind of light that's never gonna fade

It's gonna shine shine shine

Shine shine shine, oh
(bridge)
Bm
Mama said one of these days
C G
I know why she gave me that ring
Am D/G G
Sittin' here I know she was right
Bm
Oh, it's not the biggest stone you've ever seen
C G
But girl I can promise you one thing
Am D
That for rest of your life
(chorus-out)
G
It's gonna shine just like a spotlight
Am
A star up in the night sky
C Am Em C D,
The kind of thing that takes your breath away
G
Your eyes sparkled like that diamond
Am
With love beaming from 'em
C D
The kind of light that's never, never, never gonna fade
G
It's gonna shine, shine, shine
Am
Shine, shine, shine
C
Shine, shine, shine
Am Em C
Like a beacon calling me home
D G Am
It's gonna shine
C D G
Oh yeah, shine, shine, shine
