[Em]
Once in [Am] my lifetime, I intend to [G] see the ladder [Em] ascending
In front of me, [Am] in front of me, in front of me, in front of me
Once in my lifetime, I intend to see [G] the ladder [Em] ascending
In front of me, [Am] in front of me, in front of me, in front of me
I've been searching without, I've been searching [G] within
Up, [Em] down, all around, right about here and there and in
Because once in my lifetime, I intend to [G] see the ladder [Em] ascending
In front of me, [Am] in front of me, in front of me
I've come a long way, over oceans and [Em] hills
I'm weary and poor, and I need my comfort filled
Once in my lifetime, I intend to [G] see the ladder ascending
[Em]
In front of me, [Am] in front of me, in front of me

To learn The Waterboys - (2013 Remaster, 1986-1988) The Ladder chords, these are the chords to practise in sequence: Em, G, Em, Am and G. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 41 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 84. With the song's key of C Major, set your capo to fit your vocal range and chord choice.
