Chords for The Hinsons - "The Lighthouse" - 1988

[B] [C] Over on the [Em] _ _ [C] _ _
[Em] hillside, [F] _ and it [C] overlooks the light sea.
[G]
[C] When I'm [Em] tossed, [Am] you know it sends [C] out a [D] light, _ a light that [G] I [Am] might see.
[B]
[C] I am a [Em] light that [C] shines in darkness now, [F] _ will [D] safely lead me home.
_ [C] _
[Em] And I know if it wasn't [Am] for the [Em] lighthouse, [Am] [G] well, I know my ship [F] would [C] sail no more.
_ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [G] Now everybody [C] that lives around us, [A#] [F] all around us, they all [C] say, tear that lighthouse [G] down.
[C] And they say, [G] we all know the big [Am] ships, they don't [C] sail by this way anymore.
[D] And there just ain't no use in [G] that old [Am] thing standing [G] round, [C] yeah, but then my mind [G] goes way [C] on back to that [E] stormy [C] night.
[F] _ And just [D#] in [D] time, thank God I saw [C] the light.
Hey, [Em] don't you know it was the light [Am] from [C] that old lighthouse?
[G] Know something else?
It still [G] stands up [C] there, yes it [G] does.
[Am] On [B] the hill, [C] _ before _ the [Dm] lighthouse, [E] _
[F] I owe my life [C] to [Dm] [Am] Him.
[C] _ Jesus, [Em] _ [C] here's the lighthouse, _
[D] from [F#m] [F#] the [G] rocks of [Am] sin.
[G] _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _

[G] where would this ship [C] be? _
