[Intro]
E
[Verse]
E A
Through all these Earthly trials of sorrow
E B7
Through all these days of mortal sin
E A
Through all these eternal nights with no tomorrow
E B7 E
Gotta stay on the straight and narrow and find a little light within
[Chorus]
N.C. E A
Gotta walk that road all the way to Heaven
E B7
Gotta walk that road until the dawn
E
Gotta walk that road all night
A
All you need is a little light
E B7 E
And the closer you get the brighter it turns on
[Solo]
A E B7 E
[Verse 2]
N.C. E A
Don't need no compass no map or chart
E B7
Don't need no stars shining above
E A
I don't need nothing but a little light in my heart
E B7 E
Glowing inside me like a blanket of love
[Chorus]
E A
Gotta walk that road all the way to Heaven
E B7
Gotta walk that road until the dawn
E
Gotta walk that road all night
A
All you need is a little light
E B7 E
And the closer you get the brighter it turns on
E B7 E
I said the closer you get the brighter it turns on.
