Verse 1:
         F#m          Fm
From the neonlight galore
         F#m            F
Windin' back to ancient fury

As the waves grow higher

And the bones weaken

With the wind as your guide
         F#m           F
And the silver stars above your beacon
           E               Dsus2
With this ship of fools a-flyin'
      E     Dsus2
Over dyin' seas

Hang on sailor hang on
     F#m            F
Hang on to song of freedom
           E               Dsus2
With your wings spread out wide
      E     Dsus2
In a flyin' spree

Verse 4:
         F#m          F
May the wind be your guide
      F#m          F           E
Your ride home to where you belong
    Dsus2         E
To where all the folk and the town

Are dyin' to meet you

          F#m           Fm
Midnight rambler travel on
     F#m               F
May lightnin' strike upon us
        E            Dsus2
As the waves turn to fire
          E             Dsus2
With the bones bound to break

Verse 6:
         F#m        Em
With all fears overcome
        F#m                Em
And our sails shredded to pieces
      Dsus2                    C
I was thinkin' of crossin' the woods and the plains
        Dsus2                    C                         Bm   C
When it suddenly struck me that I'm still a-searchin' for you

      Still for you
Bm  C           Bm  C D
      Still for you

O Lord have mercy on me
