"Shine"
-------
By Ed Roland
As performed by Collective Soul
Transcribed by John S. Jacob
Paul D
Capo on the 4th fret (Fret numbers are counted from the capo)


This song sounds kinda retro to me. I don't usually like that sound,
but I really like it in this song. Unfortunately, I don't have a
recording of "Shine", so the music is what I got off the radio the few
times I've heard it on Live 105. I haven't sequenced the entire song,
but all the riffs are here. The lyrics have been generously provided
by Paul D. Thanks! -- John

Subject: Re: SHINE common youth (= Collective Soul?)


Hi there, Im one of those naughty people that tape stuff off the radio

I taped this and tried to work it out ( SHINE - by Collective Soul that is)
and this is what I came up with:

I think it is tuned down a semitone, then the sixth string tuned
down a further 2 semitones

intro and verses : (this is from memory)

Eb------------------------------|-------------------------------
Bb---5h7----7----5--------------|--5h7---7---/10-----------7----
Gb------------------7--7-7-5-7--|-----------------7-7-7-9-------
Db------------------------------|-------------------------------
Ab------------------------------|-------------------------------
Db------------------------------|-------------------------------

Eb------------------------------|----------------------------------
Bb------------------------------|----------------------------------
Gb------------------------------|----------------------------------
Db------------------------------|----------------------------------
Ab--10------10----10----10---10-|-12--------12-----12-----12----12-
Db--10--8-8-10--8-10--8-10-8-10-|-12--10-10-12--10-12--10-12-10-12-


then sometimes that heavy part:

Eb---------------------------------------------------------|
Bb---------------------------------------------------------|
Gb--------------------------------------------------------o|
Db--0--0-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-5---------0--0-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-5--6--o|
Ab--0--0-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-5---------0--0-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-5--6---|
Db--0--0-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-5---------0--0-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-5--6---|
yeah!

chorus:

Eb---------------------------------------------------------
Bb---------------------------------------------------------
Gb-5-------------------------------------------------------
Db-5-----------5------------------0------------------------
Ab-3-----------5------------------0------------------------
Db-------------5------------------0------------------------
woah... heaven let yor light shine down

there you go, the first two bars I think are right but
there seems to be something else playing aswell like another
string. The second two bars are my least confident, Ill have to
work on them but i thought i would enclude them anyway. the rest I think
is pretty right and the solo has roughly the same chords as the chorus
but i dont
remeber in what order. If anyone has a more correct version, I would
love to see it

anyway, seeya
