Verse 1:   (intro starts with B)

E
A baby in a manger, the town of Bethlehem,

the wise men had the heart to know
   F#
He was the great I am.
     B
They crossed the desert many miles
   A                 E
to kneel down at his feet
    B
The star that led them seemed to tell them
F#               B
what had come to be


Chorus:

    E  D                 B
The Son's gonna rise and shine

Make the lame walk, the deaf talk,
         F#
and give sight back to the blind
B
Bring a light into the darkness,
     A          E
that no one can deny
   
As sure as there's a heaven,
    F#                   B
the Son's gonna rise and shine


Verse 2:

E
At the age of thirty-three, the prophecy fulfilled
                            F#
On the cross at calvary his blood for man was spilled
    B
the sky was black as midnight,
    A                   E
but 'neath the dark and gloom
B
Voices rang and angels sang
F#                 B
dancing 'round the tomb


Chorus:

    E  D                 B
The Son's gonna rise and shine

He'll take away the keys of death,
    F#
the grave will lose it's bind
B                        A             E

the Son's gonna rise and shine
