Light in Your Eyes Blessid Union of Souls
Song: LIGHT IN YOUR EYES
Band: BLESSID UNION OF SOULS
Transcribed by: J. White, - Austin, TX
Note: Piano chords differ slightly from guitar chords throughout, and guitar takes
a backseat to what sounds to be
a mandolin in the chorus. This is probably part of the source of confusion with
the other tabs. Strumming the
high strings only during the chorus helps with sound matching. Here is a version
that can be played solo on
rhythm guitar, or with piano accompaniment, that I believe is far more accurate
than the other versions available.

Verses:
[A]I can't [D]remember the [E]last time [D]we kissed good[A]bye[D] [E] [D]
[A]All our I [D]love you's were [E]just not e[D]nough to sur[A]vive[D] [E]
[E]Something your [C#m]eyes never t[D]old me
But it's [A]only now to plain to[E] see
Brilliant dis[C#m]guise when you h[D]old me
and I'm [B]free[D] [E]
(then verse again)
[A]I've been [D]thinking and [E]here's what I've [D]come to conc[A]lude[D] [E] [D]
[A]Sometimes the [D]distance is [E]more than two [D]people can [A]use[D] [E]
[E]But how could [C#m]I have [D]known girl
It was [A]time and not space you would [E]need
Darlin' to[C#m]night, I could [D]hold you
And you would [B]know, but [D]would you be[E]lieve
Chorus:
There's a l[A]ight in your eyes that [D]I used to [E]see
There's a [A]place in your heart where [D]I used to [E]be
Was I [A]wrong to assume that you were [D]waiting for [B]me
There's a[D] light in your eyes
Did you leave that light [E]burning for [A]me[D] [Fm] [E]
[A] [D] [Fm] [E]
[A]Cards and [D]phone calls and [E]photograph [D]pictures of [A]you[D] [E] [D]
[A]Constant re[D]minder of [E]all the things [D]you get used [A]to[D] [E]
[E]Is there a [C#m]chance in hell or [D]heaven
That there's [A]still something here to build [E]on
Or do you [C#m]just pick up the [D]pieces after they [B]fall
[D]But after [E]all
There's a [A]light in your eyes that [D]I used to [E]see
And a [A]song in the words that [D]you spoke to [E]me
Was I [A]wrong to believe in [D]your melod[B]y
There's a [D]light in your eyes
Did you leave that light [E]burning for [Fm]me[D]
Should [A]I keep on waiting or does [E]love keep on fading a[Fm]way[D]
Fading a[B]way[D] [E]
A G (x3)
[A] [D] [E] [D]
[A]It's been a [D]while since I've [E]seen you so [D]how have you [A]been[D] [E] [D]
Did [A]you get my [D]letter I [E]wrote you, but [D]I did not [A]send[D] [E]
[E]I tried to [C#m]call your old numb[D]er
But the [A]voice that I heard on the [E]phone
I recog[C#m]nized but she [D]told me the number was [B]wrong
(piano only, or slow strum or pick guitar as substitute)
***piano chord progression differs somewhat from guitar part - don't have a piano
here to figure out the nuances, but this arrangement will do.
There's a [A]light in my [Asus2/C#]eyes but it's [Dsus2/F#]too bright to [E]see
And a [A]pain in my [Asus2/C#]heart where [Dsus2/F#]you used to [E]be
Guess I was [A]wrong to as[Asus2/C#]sume that you were [Dsus2/F#]waiting here for [B]me
There's a [Dsus2/F#]light in your eyes
Did you [Fm]leave that light b[E]urning for m[A]e [Asus2/C#] [Dsus2/F#] [E] [A]
END
Or, easy version of last chorus:
There's a [A]light in my [A]eyes but it's [D]too bright to[E] see
And a [A]pain in my [A]heart where [D]you used to [E]be
Guess I was [A]wrong to as[A]sume that you were [D]waiting here for [B]me
There's a [D]light in your eyes
Did you [Fm]leave that light b[E]urning for m[A]e [D] [E] [A]
