Topic: Uncertain Seas

I have been accumulating thoughts over the past few dys and finally had time to put them together.  Resulted in this song.

Uncertain Seas By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


[G] What is the truth we’re told day by day


[D/F#] while away from winds of change we stay


[Em] What is imagined or real in what we say


and[Cadd9] what decides [D/F#]who will light the [G]way?




.


Verse 2


.




[G] There’s a million people living on a string


[D/F#] Fearful of what the next day may bring


[Em] Silent prayers help them through suffering


their[Cadd9] faith gives them [D/F#]what life can't [G] bring


.




Chorus


.




[Cadd9] Like an old [G] sailor, drunk and [D] asleep in his [Em] boots


[Cadd9] Dreaming of [G] shores where his [D] heart laid down roots


[Cadd9] We drift through [G] life on un[D]certain [Em] seas


[Cadd9] Praying the [G] storms will end and [D/F#] bring us [G]peace




.


Verse 3


.




[G] The world keeps turning, the tides still flow


[D/F#] Where it leads us, nobody can really know


[Em] We find our way where, only the brave dare go



We [Cadd9] chase the light [D/F#] when the dark winds [G] blow


.




Bridge


.


[Em] The night may [Bm] fall, the [Cadd9] winds may [D] tear


[Em] But courage [Cadd9] grows from what we [D] bear


.




Final Chorus


.


[Cadd9] Like an old [G] sailor, drunk and [D] asleep in his [Em] boots


[Cadd9] Dreaming of [G] shores where his [D] heart laid down roots


[Cadd9] We drift through [G] life on un[D]certain [Em] seas


[Cadd9] Praying the [G]storms end and [D/F#]bring us [G]peace


.




Outgo  - play a little slower


.






[C]We all drift [G]through life [D]on uncertain [Em]seas


[Cadd9] Praying the [G]storms end and [D/F#]bring us [G]peace


.




Even slower


.




[Cadd9] Praying the [G]storms end and [D/F#]bring everlasting [G]peace



The price of anything, is the amount of life you exchange for it.   - H.D. Thoreau
Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
"Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except only the the best." - Henry Van Dyke
