Tiny Red Light

Verse:
    C majorC                 G+G
Put the light in the window, my darling, she said,
                     C majorC
As she gazed at the dark, stormy night over head;
                  G+G
 A augmentedA little girl ran with her eager de- light,
                G7G7    C majorC
And she placed in the window the tiny red light.

Verse:
    C majorC                 G+G
Her fathercame home from his work withered cold,
                     C majorC
Angry and cross 'cause his fish were not sold;
                  G+G
He said that the oil it must do for the night,
                  G+G
So he took from the window the tiny red light.

Verse:
    C majorC                 G+G
Oh, Father, dear Father, don't take it away,
                     C majorC
Think of them poor sailors far out on the bay.
                      G+G
If he could have seen what had happened that night,

That might have been saved by the tiny red light.

Verse:
     C majorC                 G+G
The very next morning came a knock on the door,
                    C majorC
 A augmentedA sailor stood pointing far out on the shore;
                  G+G
Three tiny ships went adrift in the gale,

With tears in his eyes he told her father this tale.

Verse:
    C majorC                  G+G
We fol- lowed yer tiny red light said the man,
                        C majorC
Till it vanished from sight - on the rocks our ship ran;
                   G+G
Many were drowned on the billows last night,
                 G7G7      C majorC
That might have been saved by yer tiny red light.
                 G7G7     C majorC
That might have been saved by yer tiny red light.
