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
