Let There Be Light Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][Bb][C][Bb][C]

[Verse 1]
When the [C]mandolin sang
like a bird on the wing
In the [F]hands of Bill [G]Monroe
When [C]Chet played guitar
like a walk in the park
Like a [F]prodigal son coming home
They [C]spoke into being
the work of their hands
From the [F]void of the wire and the wood
And they [C]stood on the stage
And they sang and they played
And they [F]said that it was good
[G]They said

[Chorus 1]
Let there [C]be light
Let there [F]be love
Let there be [C]light, let there be [G]love
Let there be [C]mu-[Em] sic[F][G]

[Verse 2]
Now, [C]Aaron's a preacher and I play guitar
[Bb]Jim, he can tune up your Ford
[F]Dave is in law school for 800 years
For the [Bb]sake of the sick and the poor
And the [C]work of our hands
is the salt of the earth
The [F]music we make is the light of the world
Let [Am]it shine, let it[C] shine, let it[F] s[G]hine
And say

[Chorus 2]
Let there [C]be light
Let there [F]be love
Let there be [C]light, let there be [G]love
Let there be [F]mu sic

[Bridge 1]
When your spirit is [Am]hovering[C]
over [F]the [G]deep
In the [Am]image of God,
just look [C]into that darkness and [D]speak
And say let there be [Dm]light, let there be [G]love,
let there be [C]music[F][G][C][F]

[Verse 3]
So let the [G]mandolin play
like a mother's embrace
Let the [Bb]fiddle be warm as a smile
Let the [Am]guitar be bright
as a friend at your side
When you're [Bb]lost on a long lonely mile
Let the [C]music be sweet
as the washing of feet
And as [F]gentle as a kiss
Let the [Am]love that we feel
be as [C]light as a reel
And as [F]real as the love we [G]give

[Chorus 3]
So, let there [C]be light
So, let there [F]be love
Let there be [C]light, let there be [G]love
Let there [F]be music
I said, let there [C]be light
Let there [F]be love
Let there be [C]light, let there be [G]love
Let there be [C]music[F]
[C][F][G][C]
