Capo: 2
Super easy chord structure (just three chords!) - the brilliance of the Gray Havens is
in their melodies.
I still may not have it right though so please submit corrections if you find any problems!
I play this on capo 2 with standard G, C, and Em chords. I would just
listen to the song to get the
right strumming rhythm. Also, it was tricky to place the chord changes in the exact
right spot, but
they're easy to pick up by listening to it.

Verse 1:
There's aG ship that bears the name Inheritance
It'sC pulled by golden chains from where it ends
NoG sail, no need for oar, with calm assurancCe carries on
AnGd those aboard the ship
Were once among the oCnes who scoffed at it
But not a singlGe one was lost to it
The sealed of theC Inheritance
Chorus:
They sing
GWill will treasure and we will hold on
GTo the light, the light before us
CWe'll be confident, we'll be bold it
CIf we know the light is for us
EmOn forever we'll see and know and
EmWe will ever be light reflecting
CThe Inheritance, The Inheritance
CWe will treasure and, we will hold on.
(G C G C)
Verse 3:
TheG darkness of the waves
Are death and deathC, we know was stripped and made
The shadow of theG joy, the light creates
For those of the InCheritance

Inside the darkest Cshadows, deeper found
Where joy was full anGd light was shining down
For those who wouldC believe
