Guiding light
Foy Vance
Capo at 4th Fret

A augmentedA beautiful melodic song by Foy Vance. Not the proper chord names, I know, but, if
like me you love this song and want to get playing it then follow my guide and
feel free to improve it and let me know. My first attempt derived from listening
to the song (so go easy on me!

The 'D1' chord can also be played by sliding the 'D' cord up two frets.

D MajorD        D1 D MajorD
Well the road is wide,
  D MajorD           A augmentedA  A augmentedA  A augmentedA
and waters run of either side,
  A augmentedA            E MajorE      E1 E MajorE
and my shadow went with fading light,
  E MajorE          A augmentedA     A2
stretching out towards the night.

D MajorD         D1 D MajorD
'Cause the Sun is low,
  D MajorD          A augmentedA     A augmentedA A augmentedA
and I yet have still so far to go,
  A augmentedA          E MajorE   E1 E MajorE
my lonely heart is beating slow,
  E MajorE      A augmentedA     A2
tired of the wonder,

D MajorD         D1  D MajorD
there's a sign ahead,
  D MajorD             A augmentedA     A augmentedA A majorA
but I think it's the same one again,
  A augmentedA            E MajorE      E1  E MajorE
and I'm thinking 'bout my only friend,
  E MajorE         A augmentedA     A2
and so I find my way home.

D MajorD      D1 D MajorD  A augmentedA
When I need to get home
A augmentedA      A augmentedA A majorA  E MajorE
you're my guiding light,
 E MajorE     E1 E MajorE   A augmentedA   A2
you're my guiding light.

D MajorD      D1 D MajorD  A augmentedA
When I need to get home,
A augmentedA     A augmentedA A majorA   E MajorE
you're my guiding light,
 E MajorE    E1 E MajorE   A augmentedA
you're my guiding light.

D MajorD       D1  D MajorD
Well the air is cold,
  D MajorD         A augmentedA     A augmentedA A majorA
and yonder lies my sleeping soul,
  A augmentedA       E MajorE        E1 E MajorE
by the branches broke like bones,
  E MajorE             A augmentedA  A2
this weakened tree no longer holds

D MajorD          D1  D MajorD
but the night is still,
  D MajorD         A augmentedA     A augmentedA A augmentedA
and I have not yet lost my will,
  A augmentedA           E MajorE   E1  E MajorE
and so I will keep on moving 'till,
  E MajorE         A augmentedA    A2
'till I find my way home.

D MajorD      D1 D MajorD  A augmentedA
When I need to get home
A augmentedA     A augmentedA A majorA   E MajorE
you're my guiding light,
 E MajorE    E1 E MajorE   A augmentedA   A2
you're my guiding light.

D MajorD      D1 D MajorD  A augmentedA
When I need to get home,
A augmentedA     A augmentedA A majorA   E MajorE
you're my guiding light,
 E MajorE     E1 E MajorE   A augmentedA
you're my guiding light.
