Capo 2
 
  D            G
I stood upon a sandy bank 
        A7           D
Looking out upon the ocean 
  G                      D
I watched the ships come safely in 
   E             A    A7
To rest upon the shore 
    D          A7     D
The friends of those aboard her 
     G        A7       D
Were gathered there to greet them 
   G               D
It made me long for heaven 
      A7                   D    G D
Where friends will part no more  
    D              D7
I'm sailing toward home 
       G           D
On the old ship of Zion 
  G                D
I see the lights upon the bank 
 E               A7
Across the misty foam 
D      G        D
Angels guide my vessel 
         G        A7     D
'Til I'm safe within the harbor 
G                A               D   G  D
Captain guide my ship 'til I get home 
    D                G
Now daddy sailed the seas of life 
   A7                  D
He knew the storms I'd weather 
   G            D               E             A
He told me of a savior who couldchart my destiny 
    D              D7
The misty veil has lifted 
          G       A7      D
And I can plainly see the harbor 
    G                D
And daddy's standing on the bank 
   A                 D
To smile and welcome me 
    D              D7
I'm sailing toward home 
       G           D
On the old ship of Zion 
  G                D
I see the lights upon the bank 
 E               A
Across the misty foam 
D      G        D
Angels guide my vessel 
         G        A7     D
'Til I'm safe within the harbor 
G                A              D
Captain guide my ship 'til I get home 
   G                A               D
Oh Captain guide my ship 'til I get home
