Capo I

You, you're not the first to A
Ask, and probably not the D
Last, and I don't expect you E
To understand A-E

Why I stayed upon that A
Rock, after the birds had D
Gone and all of the waves turned E
To sand A-E

But I am a lighthouse in a F#m-E
Desert and I stand alone D-E
I dream of an ocean that was F#m-E
Here a long time ago and I D-E
Remember his cool waters and I still B7-E
Glow A

Well these days, the sunlight has bleached my A
Paint and the moonlight has made it D
Plain that nobody needs me to E
Call them home A-E

But I swear there was a time when A
I would shine for him through the D
Night, well he was the only E
Ocean -- that I have known A-E

And I am a lighthouse in a F#m-E
Desert and I stand alone D-E
I dream of an ocean that was F#m-E
Here a long time ago and I D-E
Remember his cool waters and I still B7-E
Glow A

Now my lantern bears a crack and I D*
Know he will not be back but F#m*
I will leave the light on D*
Forever Fmaj7-6 (xx3230)

'Cause I am a lighthouse in a F#m-E
Desert and I stand alone D-E
I dream of an ocean that was F#m-E
Here a long time ago and I D-E
Remember his cool water, I B7-E
Remember his cool water, I B7-E
Remember his cool water, and I still B7-E
Glow A*
