Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Super easy chord structure (just three chords!) - the brilliance of the Gray Havens is
in their melodies.
I still may not have it right though so please submit corrections if you find any problems!
I play this on capo 2 with standard G, C, and Em chords. I would just
listen to the song to get the
right strumming rhythm. Also, it was tricky to place the chord changes in the exact
right spot, but
they're easy to pick up by listening to it.

Intro: G C G C
Verse 1:
G
There's a ship that bears the name Inheritance
C
It's pulled by golden chains from where it ends
G C
No sail, no need for oar, with calm assurance carries on
G
And those aboard the ship
C
Were once among the ones who scoffed at it
G
But not a single one was lost to it
C
The sealed of the Inheritance
Chorus:
They sing
G
Will will treasure and we will hold on
G
To the light, the light before us
C
We'll be confident, we'll be bold it
C
If we know the light is for us
Em
On forever we'll see and know and
Em
We will ever be light reflecting
C
The Inheritance, The Inheritance
C
We will treasure and, we will hold on.
(G C G C)
Verse 3:
G
The darkness of the waves
C
Are death and death, we know was stripped and made
G
The shadow of the joy, the light creates
C
For those of the Inheritance
G
The deeper we're brought down
C
Inside the darkest shadows, deeper found
G
Where joy was full and light was shining down
C
For those who would believe
Chorus:
They sing
G
Will will treasure and we will hold on
G
To the light, the light before us

We'll be confident, we'll be bold it

We will ever be lights reflecting
