The Lighthouse Chords by Buddy Mullins, Vestal Goodman, Ivan Parker

_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ There's a lighthouse _ [F#m] _ [D] on the hillside
[G] And _ [D] it overlooks La C when I'm tossed
You know it sends out a light
[E] A _ light that I [A] might see
And [D] the light [F#m] that shines [D] in darkness
Will [G] _ safely [D] lead me [E] home
And [D] I know, [F#m] I know if it wasn't [Bm] for the lighthouse
[D] I [A] _ [G] know my ship [A] would [D] sail no more
_ [D] Now _ _ everybody [F#m] that [D] lives around us
[C] All around [G] us
What they all say
[D] Tear the lighthouse down and they say
We all [F#m] know the big [Bm] ships
They don't sail by [D] this way anymore
[E] There just ain't no use in that
[A] For the whole thing's standing round
Yeah, but [D] then my mind, it [F#m] goes way on back
[Am] To that [D] stormy night
[G]
When just in [A#] time
[E] Thank God I saw the light
[D] Hey, don't you [F#m] know it was the light
[Bm] From that old [D] lighthouse
And it [A] still stands up there
[G] Yes it [A] does
[D] On the hill
And I _
_ [F#m] _ _ [Em] _ [D] _ thought [G] I owe my life [D] to _ Him _
[F#m] Jesus lives
[D] _ _ _ [E] And from the rocks [A] of sin
[F#m] He has [D]
shown [F#m] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ me
[G] That I can [D] clearly see
If [Em] it [D]
[F#m] weren't _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ [G] [A] for Him
Where [G] would this [A] ship [D] be? _ _
Oh, _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
[D] _ _ [G] I know I [D] owe my life to Him _ _ [F#m] Jesus [A] [G] lives
[D] And _ _ [E] from the rocks [A] of sin
He [D] has shown [F#m] _ _ [G] _
[D] me
[G] That I can [D] clearly see
If [G] it [D] _ wasn't for _ [G] _
[D] _ _ [G] _ [A] _ Him
Where would this ship [D] _
be? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] God bless [D] you.
_ [G] _ _
[E] _ [D] _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] Sing it.
[Dm]
[G] I [D] thank God [A] for [G] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [D] _ [F#m] His blessing
[G] _ [D] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
Yes, _ _ [F#m] _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ [A] _ _ [G] [A] ship
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
