• Capo on 2nd

Capo 2nd Fret

Intro:
A,  A,  A,  A

Verse:
  A     A     E    D   A
In Waters calm I sailed from shore

  D          E
To see what I might see

  A          E   D   A
And having never sailed before

  D       E
I drifted aimlessly

    D      E        A
A warm breeze rocked my boat until

  D        A
In slumber I fell sound

  A           E   D    A
But woke to find the light grown dim

  D         E     A    A    A
And dark clouds gathering 'round

  A          E    D   A
In haste I worked at turning back

  D      A      E
But now the wind blew wrong

  A            E   D   A
And when the night came cold and black

  D         A    E
My strength was almost gone

   E       D         A
But with one last small thread of hope

  D      A    E
I bowed my head to pray

   A          E   D   A
Then through the dark I saw a rope

   D        E    A
And heard a calm voice say


Chorus:
  A     A
Grab the rope

  D     A
Hold it tight

  A     A
In the distance

  E     E
Shines a light

  A     A
Neither fear

  D     A
Nor feel alone

  A     A
There is one

   E    D    A      A
Who'll lead you home


Bridge:
  A           E    D    A
I heard my heart beat loud and fast

  D     A    E
But did as I was told

  A          E   D   A
And with the rosey dawn at last

  D      A    E
Dry land I did behold

  E         D       A
I kissed the sandy banks and swore

  D       A      E
My sailing days were through

  A          E    D   A
But should I ever stray from shore

  E      D     A
I know now what to do


Chorus: (x2)
 A     A
Grab the rope

 D     A
Hold it tight

 A     A
In the distance

 E     E
Shines a light

 A     A
Neither fear

 D     A
Nor feel alone

 A     A
There is one

   E    D    A
Who'll lead you home
