This is a full song tab based off of the great intro tab by legends35, and it is a
little bit rough, but I think this is a pretty good version of the whole song.

Fmaj11/E:x13211
G#m/B:x2110x
Dm/A:x0776x  -or-  x00231

F (133211@1)               Fadd4/G
You are needing a friend
       F (133211@1)            Fadd4/G
For to follow, for to fend
      F (133211@1)           Fadd4/G
And I haven't got a clue
       Fmaj7/E            Fmaj13/E
If I'm getting through to you
   Fmaj11/E
My lighthouse

F (133211@1)         Fadd4/G
In the violent moonlight
     F (133211@1)           Fadd4/G
I am searching the tide
     F (133211@1)            Fadd4/G
In a vessel, in the storm
               Fmaj7/E          Fmaj13/E
And you're the kind host in the port
   Fmaj11/E
My lighthouse

F (133211@1)               Fsus4And (113311@1)we'll be there to right our wrongs
       F (133211@1)             Fsus4In (113311@1)the time it took to write this song
          F (133211@1)                 Fsus4And (113311@1)we'll beat the ghost with our bare hands
          F (133211@1)                       Fsus4And (113311@1)we'll skin the corpse and we'll love and laugh
          F (133211@1)       Fsus4And (113311@1)we'll dance all everlasting day
           F (133211@1)                   Fsus4And (113311@1)you'll sing to me everything I meant to say
          F (133211@1)                      Fsus4And (113311@1)we'll drink to the gentle, the meek and the kind
        F (133211@1)                        G#m/B(?)
And the funny little flaws in this earthly design
         Am (x02210@1)              Dm/A
From the Reeperbahn to the Sundarban
       Am (x02210@1)                    CI (x32010@1)will heed your call from the dust and sand
         G (320003@1)                     BmAnd (x24432@1)I'll save all my stories for thee
