Intro: A5 ,   A5 ,   A5 ,   A5 
 
  A5        A5       E5      D5    A5 
In Waters calm I sailed from shore 
  D5                  E5 
To see what I might see 
  A5                 E5   D5   A5 
And having never sailed before 
  D5            E5 
I drifted aimlessly 
      D5         E5              A5 
A warm breeze rocked my boat until 
   D5             A5 
In slumber I fell sound 
   A5                   E5    D5     A5 
But woke to find the light grown dim 
   D5                E5        A5      A5      A5 
And dark clouds gathering 'round 
 

  A5                 E5     D5    A5 
In haste I worked at turning back 
   D5         A5          E5 
But now the wind blew wrong 
   A5                      E5   D5    A5 
And when the night came cold and black 
   D5               A5     E5 
My strength was almost gone 
     E5           D5               A5 
But with one last small thread of hope 
  D5          A5      E5 
I bowed my head to pray 
     A5                  E5   D5   A5 
Then through the dark I saw a rope 
    D5             E5     A5 
And heard a calm voice say 
 

  A5        A5 
Grab the rope 
  D5        A5 
Hold it tight 
  A5        A5 
In the distance 
  E5        E5 
Shines a light 
  A5        A5 
Neither fear 
  D5        A5 
Nor feel alone 
  A5        A5 
There is one 
    E5     D5      A5         A5 
Who'll lead you home  
 
 
  A5                   E5     D5     A5 
I heard my heart beat loud and fast 
  D5        A5      E5 
But did as I was told 
  A5                  E5   D5   A5 
And with the rosey dawn at last 
  D5         A5     E5 
Dry land I did behold 
  E5               D5            A5 
I kissed the sandy banks and swore 
  D5            A5         E5 
My sailing days were through 
  A5                 E5     D5    A5 
But should I ever stray from shore 
  E5         D5       A5 
I know now what to do 
 

 A5        A5 
Grab the rope 
 D5        A5 
Hold it tight 
 A5        A5 
In the distance 
 E5        E5 
Shines a light 
 A5        A5 
Neither fear 
 D5        A5 
Nor feel alone 
 A5        A5 
There is one 
    E5      D5     A5 
Who'll lead you home  
 
(Repeat Chorus  until song fades)
