I'm [A] going to let it [E] shine.
This little light of mine, I'm [A] going to let [E] it shine.
[A] All [E] in my home, [A] I'm going to let it shine.
All in [E] my room, I'm going to [A] let it shine.
The road was dark, the way was long, kept on singing that freedom song.
My God promised me a rainbow sign, just [A] gotta let [E] my little light shine.
Don't give up, don't back down, [A] don't let the light [E] turn you around.
My heart's fixed, made up in mine, [D] I'm going [A] to let [E] my little light shine.
Sure [A] going to let [E] my little light shine.
[A] All in the [E] streets, I'm going to let [A] it shine.

On the battlefield, [E] I'm going to let [A] it shine.
[E] See now I ain't going to fight no rich man's war, that ain't what God want to use me for.
Killing folk ain't in my line, [D] sure [A] ain't no way to [E] let my little light shine.
Shine on me, shine on me, [D] let the light [A] from the light [E] house shine on me.
You can't fool all the people all the time, [D]
[A] together let [E] our little light shine.
Let [A] it shine, [E] let it shine, let [A] it shine, [E] let it shine.
This little light of mine, I'm [A] going to let it [E] shine.
This little light of mine, I'm [A] going to let [E] it shine.
[A] When the call, [E] let it shine.
When [A] the liar [E] calls, let it shine.
In [A] my home, [E] let it shine.
In [A] my room, [E] y'all, let it shine.
When [A] hatred calls, [E] let it shine.
When [A] it shines, [E] freedom shines.
When [A] it shines, [E] no more sorrow.
When [A] it shines, [E] no more pain.
When [A] it shines, [E] oh Lord, when [A] it shines.
