       Bm
Well, sitting on a stone
 A
Sitting all alone
 G          F#      G        A     Bm A G F# G A
Daises are rolling down the mountain

Well, see the lonesome tramp
Who´s living in the damp
Nobody´s in the valley

Chorus:
Bm      A   G        F#
Shine on, shine on, Sun
         G  A    Bm      A G F# G A
Oh it´s so cold right here
Shine on, shine on, Sun
Shine on all night long
All night long

Daydreams are of silent blue
Icy wings will carry you
Well, Midnight Sun will never shine
Just ravings of a fool you think
And laugh about him all the time

Chorus:
Shine on, shine on, Sun
Oh it´s so cold right here
Shine on, shine on, Sun
Shine on all night long
All night long
All night long

White pale velvet Autumn Sun will fade away
Forgotten life will finish now in endless grey
Some days like drifting haze
Some days like glowing blaze
Some days like tides of life
Some days like tides of life

White pale velvet Autumn Sun will fade away
Forgotten life will finish now in endless grey
Some days like drifting haze
Some days like glowing blaze
Some days like tides of life
Some days like tides of life

Staggerin´ along a tropic highway
Crazy lights are whirling ´round and ´round
Hell or heaven - Night or Day?
Burning fingers push the Sun away...

Chorus:
Shine on, shine on, Sun
Oh it´s so cold right here
Shine on, shine on, Sun
Shine on all night long
