• Capo on 2nd

Capo 2nd Fret

Intro:
A,  A,  A,  A augmentedA

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

  D MajorD          E MajorE
To see what I might see

  A augmentedA          E MajorE   D MajorD   A augmentedA
And having never sailed before

  D MajorD       E MajorE
I drifted aimlessly

    D MajorD      E MajorE        A augmentedA
A majorA warm breeze rocked my boat until

  D MajorD        A augmentedA
In slumber I fell sound

  A augmentedA           E MajorE   D MajorD    A augmentedA
But woke to find the light grown dim

  D MajorD         E MajorE     A augmentedA    A augmentedA    A augmentedA
And dark clouds gathering 'round

  A augmentedA          E MajorE    D MajorD   A augmentedA
In haste I worked at turning back

  D MajorD      A augmentedA      E MajorE
But now the wind blew wrong

  A augmentedA            E MajorE   D MajorD   A augmentedA
And when the night came cold and black

  D MajorD         A augmentedA    E MajorE
My strength was almost gone

   E MajorE       D MajorD         A augmentedA
But with one last small thread of hope

  D MajorD      A augmentedA    E MajorE
I bowed my head to pray

   A augmentedA          E MajorE   D MajorD   A augmentedA
Then through the dark I saw a rope

   D MajorD        E MajorE    A augmentedA
And heard a calm voice say

Chorus:
  A augmentedA     A augmentedA
Grab the rope

  D MajorD     A augmentedA
Hold it tight

  A augmentedA     A augmentedA
In the distance

  E MajorE     E MajorE
Shines a light

  A augmentedA     A augmentedA
Neither fear

  D MajorD     A augmentedA
Nor feel alone

  A augmentedA     A augmentedA
There is one

   E MajorE    D MajorD    A augmentedA      A augmentedA
Who'll lead you home


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

  D MajorD     A augmentedA    E MajorE
But did as I was told

  A augmentedA          E MajorE   D MajorD   A augmentedA
And with the rosey dawn at last

  D MajorD      A augmentedA    E MajorE
Dry land I did behold

  E MajorE         D MajorD       A augmentedA
I kissed the sandy banks and swore

  D MajorD       A augmentedA      E MajorE
My sailing days were through

  A augmentedA          E MajorE    D MajorD   A augmentedA
But should I ever stray from shore

  E MajorE      D MajorD     A augmentedA
I know now what to do


Chorus: (x2)
 A augmentedA     A augmentedA
Grab the rope

 D MajorD     A augmentedA
Hold it tight

 A augmentedA     A augmentedA
In the distance

 E MajorE     E MajorE
Shines a light

 A augmentedA     A augmentedA
Neither fear

 D MajorD     A augmentedA
Nor feel alone

 A augmentedA     A augmentedA
There is one

   E MajorE    D MajorD    A augmentedA
Who'll lead you home
