_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ There's a lighthouse _ _ [G] _
on [C] the _ _ _ hillside _ That [F] _ _ _ _ _
overlooks [C] life's sea _ _
_ When I'm _ tossed, _ [Em] _
_ [C] it sends out a light [D] That _ _ I'd _
_ _ [G] see
_ _ And the [C] _ _ light that shines in darkness _ _ now [F] Will _ safely _ lead us
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
If [C] it _ _ wasn't for _ the _ lighthouse _ _ My [G] _ _ ship [F] would be no [C] _ _ more _ _

[G#] _ _ _ [C#] It seems that everybody about us [D#] says,
_ Tear that old [G#] lighthouse down.
_ The big ships [F#] just don't pass [C#] this way anymore.
So there's no use in standing around. _
_ _ [F#] Then my mind goes back [C#] to that one _ [F#] dark [D#] stormy night
_ [C#] _ When just in time I saw the light.
_ Yes, it was the light from that [G#] old lighthouse That stands up there on the [C#] hill.
_ _ And I thank _ _ [G#] God for _ the [C#] _ _ lighthouse _ _ [F#] I owe _ _ _ _ [C#] to _ _ _ _ Him.
_ _ _ _ Jesus [G#] _
is the [C#] _ lighthouse _ _ _ [D#] And from _ _ _ _ _ [G#] a sin _ _ He [C#] has _ _ [G#] shown a _ light
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] That _ _ _ _ clearly _
[C#] _ sees.
_ _ If it _ _ [G#] wasn't _ for the [C#] _ _ lighthouse _ [F#] _ [G#] Where _ _ would this [C#] ship be?
_ [A] I _ [D] thank _ God [A] for _ [G] the [D] _ lighthouse _ _ [G] I owe _ _ _ _ _ [D] to _ _ _ _ Him. _ _ _
Jesus [A] _ _ [G] is the [D]
lighthouse _ _ _ [E] And from _ _ _ _ [A] a sin _ _ He [D] has _ shown a [A] _ light
[G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ That _ [G] I _ _ _ clearly [D] _ _ see. _
[A] If [D] it _ _ wasn't for the _ lighthouse Where would [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ this ship _ be?
