Candles chords by The Okee Dokee Brothers

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: E

Verse:
     E
Strike a match, light a wick
  E
The wax falls on the candlestick
 A             E
Slowly, patiently into the night
 B                  E
Smaller, smaller, the candle gives its life

Bridge:
    B          A         E
Just a little touch of fire, I'm gonna let it shine
B                A          E
I won't let no one blow it out, this little light of mine

Chorus:
       F#m      A
And you place those candles all around
  E
You turn a dark room bright
   F#m
Like stars in the sky
      A     E
They’re the universal light

Verse:
     E
Did you know that the glow
 E
Of a candle can be seen for miles
 A                E
Through the calm of a dark winter sky
 B                 E
Just like the glimmer in a child’s eye

Verse:
    E
When a baby is born
 E
All we can do is
 A                 E
hand them a light and give them a name
     B
Then we leave it to them
             E
What they do with their flame

Bridge:
    B               A        E
Just a little touch of fire, that can see through the dark
 B             A      E
We can trust that a child only needs a spark

Chorus:
       F#m      A
And you place those candles all around
  E
You turn a dark room bright
   F#m
Like stars in the sky
      A     E
They’re the universal light

Verse:
     E
Strike a match, light a wick
  E
The wax falls on the candlestick
 A             E
Slowly, patiently into the night

Everywhere I go, I'm gonna let it shine

Everywhere I go, I'm gonna let it shine
