Dar Williams - The Light And The Sea



INTRO: G    D  G   D  Em  C  G

D                             C              G
Setting out upon the waves in darkness and upheaval
D                             C                 G
I was told that I alone would not know good and evil
Em            Bm
Oh oh, but in time
    Em        C     D
But oh oh, in time
           G
It came to me
                       D        G
That as our ship would fall and rise
                 D       Em
I could turn and lift my eyes
      C
To the light
       G
A distant light
                   D      G
And there will all-always be
          D       Em
The light and the sea
            C                 G
The roiling sea, the light and me

    D                                C                 G
And as the days went by, I turned my wheel towards the thunder
D                             C                  G
Taking on a challenge, that I knew could take me under
Em                    Bm
Oh oh, and it took me down
    Em                C     D
And oh oh, it took me down
               G
And it came to me
                D        G
As I cursed the stem and sail
                        D        Em
And called it fate that I should fail
          C
There is a light
          G
There is a light
                   D      G
And there will all-always be
          D       Em
The light and the sea
            C                 G      Em   Bm
The roiling sea, the light and me


       Am   C       D
And it all___ comes down
        G
Down to me
                     D     G
To feel the presence of my soul
                    D       Em
Amidst the torrents and the cold
      C      G
Of the sea
                   D      G
And there will all-always be
          D       Em
The light and the sea
            C                 G
The roiling sea, the light and me


OUTRO: Em   C   G   Em   C
                    G
       The light and me
