David Francey - All Lights Burning Bright
## NOTE A/D = XX0220 ##
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: G D A A/D A G D A A/D D
We were standing the last watch
G D
At the close of our day
G D
Three days on the water
A D
Out from Thunder Bay
'Cross Superior, Huron
G D
And into Saint Clair
G D
On a bright day in summer
A D
I found myself there
Dead calm on the water
G D
As blue as the sky
G D
And we waved from the water
A D
As we slowly passed by
And we entered Lake Erie
G D
It was late in the day
G D
You could see the storm coming
A D
From a mile away
CHORUS:
G D A
We had all lights burning bright
G D A D
We had all lights burning bright
G D A
We had all lights burning bright
G D A D
We had all lights burning bright
That storm overtook us
G D
And it fell like the night
G D
And the Point and the Island
A D
They passed out of sight
But we sailed on rock steady
G D
Set course through the storm
G D
And the sky fell upon us
A D
And the wind drove us on
CHORUS:
G D A
We had all lights burning bright
G D A D
All lights burning bright
G D A
We had all lights burning bright
G D A D
We had all lights burning bright
INSTRUMENTAL: G D A A/D A G D A A/D D (2x)
And I thought to myself
G D
I'd be just like this ship
G D
If I kept my light burning
A D
On every trip
But the watch it was ended
G D
With the turn of the night
G D
And I wrote in that log book
A D
"All lights burning bright"
CHORUS:
G D A
We had all lights burning bright
G D A D
All lights burning bright
G D A
We had all lights burning bright
G D A D
We had all lights burning bright
CHORUS:
G D A
We had all lights burning bright
G D A D
We had all lights burning bright
