Saw you stretched out in Room Ten O Nine
Am G
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye
F C G F C G
Couldn't see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love
Berber jew'lry jangling down the street
Make you shut your eyes at ev'ry woman that you meet
Could not seem to get a high on you, my sweet honey love
chorus
C G
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Am F C G
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
Well, you're in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn
And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn
Just seemed too many flies on you, I can't brush them off
Angels beating all their wings in time
With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes
Thought I heard on sigh for you
Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now
chorus

| I always thought it was about drug addiction, and now that it has been mentioned that it might be about either Keef or Brian, that makes sense. | |

| I had no idea this was about Brian Jones. It is a beautiful good soulful song. I love Exile. One of my favorite all time records...and as this site goes, goes radio play for it. It is the most underappreciated by anyone out of the inner core of Stones fans. I always felt it was a song wishing a good friend well. | |
