Ready for the Storm Rich Mullins
Capo 2
Verse 1
[Em]The waves crash in and the tide pulls out
It's an [D]angry sea but there is no doubt
That the [C]lighthouse will keep shining out
To [D]warn a lonely sailor
and The [Em]lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
Through the [D]sinner's bones to the sailor's soul
Till there's [C]nothing left that he can hold
Ex[D]cept the rolling ocean
Chorus
Oh [Em]I am [C]ready for the s[D]torm Yes Sir, ready
[Em]I am [C]ready for the [D]storm I'm ready for the sto[Em]rm
intro
Verse 2
Oh, [Em]give me mercy for my dreams
'Cause [D]every confrontation seems
To [C]tell me what it really means
To [D]be this lonely sailor
[Em]when the sky begins to clear
The s[D]un it melts away my fear
and I [C]cry a silent weary tear
For [D]those that mean to love me.
Chorus
Oh [Em]I am [C]ready for the s[D]torm Yes Sir, ready
[Em]I am [C]ready for the [D]storm I'm ready for the sto[Em]rm

Verse 3
The [Em]distance it is no real friend
And [D]time will take its time
And you will [C]find that in the end
It brings you [D]me, this lonely sailor
And [Em]when you take me by the hand
You [D]love me Lord, you love me
And I s[C]hould have realized
I had no r[D]easons to be frightened
Chorus
Oh [Em]I am [C]ready for the s[D]torm Yes Sir, ready
[Em]I am [C]ready for the [D]storm I'm ready for the sto[Em]rm
