Till It Shines. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (From the album Stranger in Town) This is a truly great song (and my first tab!) and you can play along in this key - fantastic on a 12 string! The verse keeps a very constant 4 bar rhythm which needs to be if you want it to sound like the recording. Thanks to Wedge for pointing me in the right direction - here's the rest of the lyrics. Intro: C Em Am G play 4 times C Em Am G Take away my inhibitions C Em Am G Take away my solitude C Em Am G Fire me up with your resistance C Em Am G Mmm put me in the mood C Em Am G Storm the walls around this prison, C Em Am G Leave the inmates, free the guards C Em Am G Deal me up another future from some C Em Am G Brand new deck of cards F G Take the chip off from my shoulder, C Cmaj7 Am Smooth out all the lines F C G F C G Take me out among the rustlin' pines C Em Am G Till it shines C Em Am G Till it shines Like an echo down a canyon, Never coming back this clear Lately I just judge the distance, Not the words I hear I've been too long on these islands, I've been far too long alone I've been too long without summer in this winter home. Still if we can make the effort If we take the time Maybe we can leave this much behind Till it shines Mm Till it shines Instrumental verse See the rich man lost and lonely Watch him as he dines, sitting there just tasting all the wines Till it shines Mm Till it shines Till it Shines repeat Instrumental & fade
About the artist behind Till It Shines Chords:
After years of local Detroit-area success, recording and performing in the mid-1960s, Seger achieved superstar status by the mid-1970s and continuing through the 1980s with the Silver Bullet Band. A roots rocker with a classic raspy, shouting voice, Seger was first inspired by Little Richard and Elvis Presley. He wrote and recorded songs that dealt with blue-collar themes. Seger has recorded many rock and roll hits, including "Night Moves", "We've Got Tonight", "Like a Rock" and also co-wrote the Eagles number one hit "Heartache Tonight." His iconic signature song "Old Time Rock and Roll" was named one of the Songs of the Century in 2001. With a career spanning five decades, Seger continues to perform and record today.
Seger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
