     Csus2Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9Cadd9)  Csus2Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9Cadd9)
Well the road is wide,
         G5G5
And waters run on either side,
            D MajorD (hammer on Dsus4Dsus4)
And my shadow went with fading light,
        G5G5
Stretching out towards the night.

     Csus2Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9Cadd9)  Csus2Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9Cadd9)
'Cause the Sun is low,
            G5G5
And I yet have so much more to go,
            D MajorD (hammer on Dsus4Dsus4)
My lonely heart is beating so,
        G5G5
Tired of the wonder.

     Csus2Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9Cadd9)  Csus2Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9Cadd9)
But there's a sign ahead,
               G5G5
Though I think it's the same one again,
            D MajorD (hammer on Dsus4Dsus4)  D MajorD (hammer on Dsus4Dsus4)
And I'm thinking 'bout my only friend,
          G5G5
Till I find my way home.

  C majorC         G+G
So when I need to get home
            Dadd11
You're my guiding light,
          G+G
You're my guiding light.

C majorC         G+G
When I need to get home
            Dadd11
You're my guiding light,
          G+G
You're my guiding light.

     Csus2Csus2 (hammer on C majorC)  Csus2Csus2 (hammer on C majorC)
Well the air is cold,
               G5G5 (hammer on G+G)
And yonder lies my sleeping soul,
        Dadd11
By the branches broke like bones,
           G5G5 (hammer on G+G)
This weakened tree no longer holds.

      Csus2Csus2 (hammer on C majorC)  Csus2Csus2 (hammer on C majorC)
Oh but the night is still,
          G5G5 (hammer on G+G)
And I have not yet lost my will,
           Dadd11
Oh and I will keep on moving 'till,
        G5G5 (hammer on G+G)
'Till I find my way home.
