Verse1:
No man is a hero every day
and even a champion loses the day before the race
try not to be sleeping in your wide awake
and when your chance comes have fun don t be afraid
Chorus:
Oh brother all you got to know is who you are and it will be
all right, all right
oh brother, once you realize that you re a star you re gonna
shine so bright
Verse2:
And you don t always have to want to play
and you won t always have to be willing to pay
try to make sure to make more love than hate
and when your chance comes stand up do what you say
Verse3: This one s different. It can be played like any other verse and it ll sound
fine. If anyone wants to tab this bit for me, do so. In the mean time, I ve provided a
very playable version here based off live performances. The first chord seems to differ
depending on the mood of the song so I ve provided a few suggestions for you to play around
with for your cover.
( or or )
It won t always be easy along the way
and you won t always believe me when I say
you don t need anything but life and faith
and you can always call out my name
Chorus:
Just got to shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on
little brother,
Just got to shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on
my little brother
Bridge:
Can we just get some of that good old time JT right here now baby well
you know some old time JT old time you know, you know, you know
One last thing, when playing the intro/verses the bass line is something like this for
the first change.
