I am a EmLighthouse, GWorn by the weather and the Dwaves. I keep my Emlamp lit, to Gwarn the sailors on their Dway. I'll tell a Emstory, Gpaint you a picture from myD past. I was sEmo happy, but Gjoy in this life seldoDm lasts.
hook Verse 2: Strummed + muted (one two, one two, one two)
I had a Emkeeper, Ghe helped me warn the ships at Dsea. We had growEmn closer, 'Gtil his joy meant everything toD me. He was to Emmarry a Ggirl who shown with beauty aDnd light. They loved eEmach other, and Gwith me watched the sunsets intoD nights.
Chorus:
And the Cwaves crashing aBmround me, The saBbnd slips Cout to Dsea, And the Cwinds that blow reBmmind me of what has Embeen, F#m G and what can Anever Dbe.
hook Verse 3: Strummed + muted (one two, one two, one two) She'd had to leave us; my keeper, he prayed for a safe return, But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned. He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wind, And me so helpless, as dashed against the rocks she met her end.

He kissed her cold face, and that they'd be together soon he swore. (Strummed/picked slowly Em, G, D) I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand, (Normal Strumming Em, G, D) Then he climbed my tower, and off the edge of me he ran. Chorus hook Verse: picking lightly I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves, And though I'm empty, I still warn the sailors on their way.
