"The Lighthouse's Tale"
Standard tuning
Intro: Em - G – D
Em G D
I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.
Em G D
I keep my lamp lit, to warn the sailors on their way.
Em G D
I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past.
Em G D
I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts.
Em G D
I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea.
Em G D
We had grown closer, 'till his joy meant everything to me.
Em G D
And he was to marry, a girl who shone with beauty and light.
Em G D
And they loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into night.
Chorus:
C Bm Bb C D
And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out to sea.
C Bm Em F#m G A D
And the winds that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be.
Instrumental break: Em – G – D
Em G D
She'd had to leave us, my keeper he prayed for a safe return.
Em G D C
But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned.
Em G D
He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wave.
Em G D
In me so helpless, as dashed against the rock she met her end.
[Chorus]
Em G D
Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the SHORE.
Em G D
He kissed her cold face, that they'd be together soon he'd swore.
Em G D
I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand.
Em G D
And then he climbed my tower, and off of the edge of me he ran.
[Chorus]
Em G D
I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.
Em G D
And though I am empty, I still warn the sailors on their way.
