Words and Music by Jeff Tweedy. From the 2007 Album "Sky Blue Sky"
Capo 5
Intro: [D]
[D] If you feel like singing a song
And you [G] want other people to sing along
Just [D] sing what you [A] feel
Don't let [G] anyone say it's [D] wrong
[D] And if you're trying to paint a picture
But you're [G] not sure which colors belong
Just [D] paint what you [A] see
Don't let [G] anyone say it's [D] wrong
[G] And if you're strung out like a kite
Or [A] stung awake in the night
It's [G] alright to be frightened
[D] When there's a light [G] (what light)
[D] There's a light [G] (one light)
[D] There's a light [G] (white light)
Inside of [Bb]* you [Cadd9] [D]
[D] If you think you might need somebody
To [G] pick you up when you drag
Don't [D] lose sight of [A] yourself
Don't let [G] anyone change your [D] bag
[D] And if the whole world's singing your songs
And [G] all of your paintings have been hung
Just [D] remember what was [A] yours
Is [G] everyone's from now [D] on
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/wilco/what_light_crd.html ]
[G] And that's not wrong or right
But you can [A] struggle with it all you like
You'll [G] only get uptight
[D] Because there's a light [G] (what light)
[D] There's a light [G] (one light)
[D] There's a light [G] (white light)
[D] When there's a light [G] (what light)
[D] There's a light [G] (one light)
[D] There's a light [G] (white light)
[D] When there's a light [G] (what light)
[D] There's a light [G] (one light)
[D] There's a light [G] (white light)
[D] When there's a light [G] (what light)
[D] There's a light [G] (one light)
[D] There's a light [G] (white light)
Inside of [Bb]* you [Cadd9] [D]
[D] There's a light [G] (white light)
[D] When there's a light [G] (what light)
[D] There's a light [G] (one light)
[D] There's a light [G] (white light)
