(Flat-pick lightly for the first verse
and then strum for the later verses)
t[Em]he waves crash in and the tide rolls out
it's an a[D2]ngry sea, but there is no doubt that the li[Cmaj7]ghthouse
will keep shining out, to w[D2]arn a lonely sailor
the li[Em]ghtning strikes and the wind cuts cold,
through the s[D2]ailor's bones through the sailor's soul,
till there's no[Cmaj7]thing left that he can hold,
ex[D2]cept a rolling ocean
[Em]I am [Cmaj7]ready for the s[D2]torm
yes sir ready [Em]I am [Cmaj7]ready for the s[D2]torm
I'm ready for the storm
oh give me mercy for my dreams, cause every confrontation
seems to tell me what it really means to be this lonely sailor,
and when the sky begins to clear, the sun it melts away my fear
and I cry a silent weary tear for those who mean to love me
Bridge: Cmaj7 D2 C2 D2 (2x)
the distance it is no real friend and
time will take its time and you will
find that in the end it brings you me this lonely sailor,
and when you take me
by the hand, you love me Lord, you love me and
I should have realized I had no reasons to be frightened
(Play the intro then end with this ending and the E chord
instead of the Em.)

This is an awesome song, and it had already been tabbed but I
wanted to make some corrections, I hope everything is clear.
Anything played by Rich is incredible, and this is one of my favorites.
