A great folky tune by Joe Summers. Not 100% sure of the lyrics, but see for yourself.

G (320003@1)                    CThis (x32010@1)light of mine will offer up for handing,
              G (320003@1)                       DThis (xx0232@1)light of mine will take you to the brink,
           G (320003@1)                       CTo (x32010@1)feel it all come sweetly flooding over,
        G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)              GTo (320003@1)feel free, free enough to breath again

(Instrumental Verse, banjo enters)

G (320003@1)                              CThere's (x32010@1)a strange, strange feeling in this city,
          G (320003@1)                      DThere's (xx0232@1)a dark, dark figure on the hill,
         G (320003@1)                     CAnd (x32010@1)this speechless, wandering committee,
          G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)             GWill (320003@1)take all your hope into their will

D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)            EmCalling (022000@1)down, down, down among the lonesome,
       D (xx0232@1)          C (x32010@1)                GCrying (320003@1)out, till my voice will make no sound,
       D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)       EmColder (022000@1)hands won't offer any help son,
        D (xx0232@1)                 GTurn (320003@1)it out, turn the boat around

(Instrumental Verse)

G (320003@1)                       CThere's (x32010@1)a glow down there among the breakers,
        G (320003@1)                     DCould (xx0232@1)a calmer wind be calm and true?
           G (320003@1)                       CTo (x32010@1)feel it all come sweetly flooding over,
        G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)           GLet (320003@1)the water wash away the new

D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)            EmCalling (022000@1)down, down, down among the lonesome,
       D (xx0232@1)          C (x32010@1)                GCrying (320003@1)out, till my voice will make no sound,
       D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)       EmColder (022000@1)hands won't offer any help son,
        D (xx0232@1)                 GTurn (320003@1)it out, turn the boat around

D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)            EmCalling (022000@1)down, down, down among the lonesome,
       D (xx0232@1)          C (x32010@1)                GCrying (320003@1)out, till my voice will make no sound,

(Accompaniment out, slow guitar strums only)

D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)       EmColder (022000@1)hands won't offer any help son,

(Accompaniment back in)

D (xx0232@1)                 GTurn (320003@1)it out, turn the boat around
        D (xx0232@1)                 GTurn (320003@1)it out, turn the boat around
(Slower)
        D (xx0232@1)                 GTurn (320003@1)it out, turn the boat around
