Guiding Light Foy Vance
Guiding light
Foy Vance
Capo at 4th Fret
A beautiful melodic song by Foy Vance. Not the proper chord names, I know, but, if
like me you love this song and want to get playing it then follow my guide and
feel free to improve it and let me know. My first attempt derived from listening
to the song (so go easy on me!
The 'D1' chord can also be played by sliding the 'D' cord up two frets.
Wel[D]l the road is wid[D1]e,[D]
and[D] waters run of either [A]side,[A1] [A]
and[A] my shadow went with fad[E]ing light,[E1] [E]
stre[E]tching out towards th[A]e night.[A2]
'Ca[D]use the Sun is low,[D1] [D]
and[D] I yet have still so [A]far to go, [A1] [A]
my [A]lonely heart is beati[E]ng slow[E1],[E]
tire[E]d of the won[A]der,[A2]
the[D]re's a sign ahead,[D1] [D]
but[D] I think it's the same one[A] again,[A1] [A]
and[A] I'm thinking 'bout my o[E]nly friend,[E1] [E]
and [E]so I find my way ho[A]me.[A2]
[D]When I need [D1]to g[D]et ho[A]me
[A]you're my gu[A1]idi[A]ng li[E]ght,
yo[E]u're my gu[E1]idi[E]ng lig[A]ht.[A2]
[D]When I need t[D1]o ge[D]t ho[A]me,
[A]you're my g[A1]uid[A]ing lig[E]ht,
yo[E]u're my g[E1]uid[E]ing lig[A]ht.
Wel[D]l the air is c[D1]old,[D]
and[D] yonder lies my sl[A]eeping soul[A1],[A]
[A] [E] [E1] [E]
this[E] weakened tree no longer ho[A]lds[A2]
but[D] the night is still,[D1] [D]
and[D] I have not yet lo[A]st my will,[A1] [A]
and[A] so I will keep on movi[E]ng 'til[E1]l,[E]
'til[E]l I find my way ho[A]me.[A2]
[D]When I need [D1]to g[D]et h[A]ome
[A]you're my g[A1]uid[A]ing lig[E]ht,
yo[E]u're my g[E1]uid[E]ing lig[A]ht.[A2]
[D]When I need [D1]to g[D]et ho[A]me,
[A]you're my g[A1]uid[A]ing lig[E]ht,
yo[E]u're my gu[E1]idi[E]ng ligh[A]t.
