Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA great folky tune by Joe Summers. Not 100% sure of the lyrics, but see for yourself.

       G+G           C majorC
This light of mine will offer up for handing,
       G+G             D MajorD
This light of mine will take you to the brink,
      G+G             C majorC
To feel it all come sweetly flooding over,
    G+G     D MajorD        G+G
To feel free, free enough to breath again

(Instrumental Verse, banjo enters)

     G+G                C majorC
There's a strange, strange feeling in this city,
     G+G            D MajorD
There's a dark, dark figure on the hill,
     G+G            C majorC
And this speechless, wandering committee,
     G+G    D MajorD        G+G
Will take all your hope into their will

    D MajorD      C majorC       E minorEm
Calling down, down, down among the lonesome,
    D MajorD      C majorC         G+G
Crying out, till my voice will make no sound,
    D MajorD      C majorC     E minorEm
Colder hands won't offer any help son,
    D MajorD          G+G
Turn it out, turn the boat around

(Instrumental Verse)

     G+G             C majorC
There's a glow down there among the breakers,
    G+G            D MajorD
Could a calmer wind be calm and true?
      G+G             C majorC
To feel it all come sweetly flooding over,
    G+G   D MajorD       G+G
Let the water wash away the new

    D MajorD      C majorC       E minorEm
Calling down, down, down among the lonesome,
    D MajorD      C majorC         G+G
Crying out, till my voice will make no sound,
    D MajorD      C majorC     E minorEm
Colder hands won't offer any help son,
    D MajorD          G+G
Turn it out, turn the boat around

    D MajorD      C majorC       E minorEm
Calling down, down, down among the lonesome,
    D MajorD      C majorC         G+G
Crying out, till my voice will make no sound,

(Accompaniment out, slow guitar strums only)

    D MajorD      C majorC     E minorEm
Colder hands won't offer any help son,

(Accompaniment back in)

    D MajorD          G+G
Turn it out, turn the boat around
    D MajorD          G+G
Turn it out, turn the boat around
(Slower)
    D MajorD          G+G
