Capo 2
 
  D5            G5
I stood upon a sandy bank 
        A5           D5
Looking out upon the ocean 
  G5                      D5
I watched the ships come safely in 
   E5             A5    A5
To rest upon the shore 
    D5          A5     D5
The friends of those aboard her 
     G5        A5       D5
Were gathered there to greet them 
   G5               D5
It made me long for heaven 
      A5                   D5    G5 D5
Where friends will part no more  
    D5              D5
I'm sailing toward home 
       G5           D5
On the old ship of Zion 
  G5                D5
I see the lights upon the bank 
 E5               A5
Across the misty foam 
D5      G5        D5
Angels guide my vessel 
         G5        A5     D5
'Til I'm safe within the harbor 
G5                A5               D5   G5  D5
Captain guide my ship 'til I get home 
    D5                G5
Now daddy sailed the seas of life 
   A5                  D5
He knew the storms I'd weather 
   G5            D5               E5             A5
He told me of a savior who couldchart my destiny 
    D5              D5
The misty veil has lifted 
          G5       A5      D5
And I can plainly see the harbor 
    G5                D5
And daddy's standing on the bank 
   A5                 D5
To smile and welcome me 
    D5              D5
I'm sailing toward home 
       G5           D5
On the old ship of Zion 
  G5                D5
I see the lights upon the bank 
 E5               A5
Across the misty foam 
D5      G5        D5
Angels guide my vessel 
         G5        A5     D5
'Til I'm safe within the harbor 
G5                A5              D5
Captain guide my ship 'til I get home 
   G5                A5               D5
Oh Captain guide my ship 'til I get home
