The Rope

Capo 2nd Fret 
 
 
Intro: A,   A,   A,   A 
 
  A        A       E      D    A 
In Waters calm I sailed from shore 
  D                  E 
To see what I might see 
  A                 E   D   A 
And having never sailed before 
  D            E 
I drifted aimlessly 
      D         E              A 
A warm breeze rocked my boat until 
   D             A 
In slumber I fell sound 
   A                   E    D     A 
But woke to find the light grown dim 
   D                E        A      A      A 
And dark clouds gathering 'round 
 
  A                 E     D    A 
In haste I worked at turning back 
   D         A          E 
But now the wind blew wrong 
   A                      E   D    A 
And when the night came cold and black 
   D               A     E 
My strength was almost gone 
     E           D               A 
But with one last small thread of hope 
  D          A      E 
I bowed my head to pray 
     A                  E   D   A 
Then through the dark I saw a rope 
    D             E     A 
And heard a calm voice say 
 

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

[Refrão]
 A        A 
Grab the rope 
 D        A 
Hold it tight 
 A        A 
In the distance 
 E        E 
Shines a light 
 A        A 
Neither fear 
 D        A 
Nor feel alone 
 A        A 
There is one 
    E      D     A 
Who'll lead you home
