         Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9)    Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9)
Well the road is wide,
                  G5
And waters run on either side,
                        D (hammer on Dsus4)
And my shadow went with fading light,
               G5
Stretching out towards the night.

         Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9)    Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9)
'Cause the Sun is low,
                       G5
And I yet have so much more to go,
                        D (hammer on Dsus4)
My lonely heart is beating so,
               G5
Tired of the wonder.

         Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9)    Csus2 (hammer on Cadd9)
But there's a sign ahead,
                             G5
Though I think it's the same one again,
                        D (hammer on Dsus4)   D (hammer on Dsus4)
And I'm thinking 'bout my only friend,
                   G5
Till I find my way home.

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

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

Well the air is cold,

And yonder lies my sleeping soul,
                Dadd11
By the branches broke like bones,
                      G5 (hammer on G)
This weakened tree no longer holds.

           Csus2 (hammer on C)    Csus2 (hammer on C)
Oh but the night is still,
                   G5 (hammer on G)
And I have not yet lost my will,
                      Dadd11
Oh and I will keep on moving 'till,
                G5 (hammer on G)
'Till I find my way home.
