Bm
Everybody seems to know when he's around
He lifts me up and fades without a sound

Chorus:
                     C#m D E Bm
Mr. Sun, won't you shine    over me?
                     C#m D E Bm
Mr. Sun, won't you shine    over me?

Why he's here, I will never know
He makes you know you feel
Like somewhere to go

Chorus:
Mr. Sun, won't you shine over me?
Mr. Sun, just shine over me

Em       G                 Bm
Walking with a man called Sun
            D               Em G
I think my journey's just begun
                    Bm D
Do you think he'll mind?

He lifts you up, he shines
And then he's gone
But you know you need him more
When he's gone

Chorus:
Mr. Sun, just shine over me
Mr. Sun, just shine over me

Walking with a man called Sun
I think my journey's just begun
Do you think he'll mind?

Shine
Shine
Shine
Shine
Let it shine
