The Waifs


Tom: Am

      Am                      C            G      Am
Lighthouse tall and grand, standing on a cold headland.
   Am                                     C             G        Am
Shine your light across the sea, for a wayward sailor girl like me.

        Am                    C     G       Am
Lighthouse man, guide this sailor back to land.
Am                                   C               G        Am
Steer my ship on through the storm, back to waters safe and calm.

Dm                                   Am       Dm
Sometimes I need a lighthouse for my own, it gets so dark I can't see which
          Am           Am                        C
way I'm going. Lighthouse man, I'm all at sea, shine your little lighthouse
  G       Am
light on me.

 Am                           C                  G         Am
Lighthouse man help us all, some are saved and some will fall.
   Am                                      C                  G      Am
He'll show you where the danger lies, but he can't help if you capsize.
  Am                                    C                  G            Am
He'll light your way but that is all, steer your own ship back to the shore.

 Dm                                  Am
Won't you light my lonely way back home.
 Dm                              Am
This sea is full of misery and woe.

       Am                                            C
Oh - woe - be - tide to those that say, they don't need no light to
  G          Am
light their way.
  Am                                            C              G      Am
They think they're safe enough on their own, drown in murky depths below.
