[Verse 1]
 
      E           D           A
Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain
          E      D      A
with the rain in Shambala.
      E         D          A
wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame,
          E      D      A
with the rain in Shambala.
 
(before this next part, play just the 6th string-G, F#, open E)

Ahh - ahh, oooh - oooh, oooh - oooh, yeah.

Everyone is helpful, everyone is kind,

on the road to Shambala.
     E          D       A
Everyone is lucky, everyone is so kind,
       E       D      A
on the road to Shambala.

How does your light shine in the halls of Shambala?

This is a good song for beginners. There is only one chord that seems wrong. The chorus should be A D A instead of A D E. Otherwise sounds good.
