          Am

  Oh, the waves crash in and the tide pulls out

          G

  It's an angry sea but there is no doubt

           F

  That the lighthouse will keep shinin' out

     G

  To warn the lonely sailor

      Am

  The lightnin' strikes and the wind cuts cold

              G

  Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul

               F

  Till there's nothing left that he can hold

    G

  Except the rolling ocean

  

      Am   F             Em

  But I am ready for the storm

  G

  Yes Sir, ready

  Am   F             Em

  I am ready for the storm

      G             Am

  I'm ready for the storm

      Am

  Oh, give me mercy for my dreams

         G

  'Cause every confrontation seems

     F

  To tell me what it really means

     G

  To be this lonely sailor

      Am

  And when you take me by your side

      G

  You love me warm, you love me

        F

  And I   should have realized

           G

  I had no reasons to be frightened

  

      Am   F             Em

  But I am ready for the storm

  G

  Yes Sir, ready

  Am   F             Em

  I am ready for the storm

      G             Am

  I'm ready for the storm

  

  Am   G   F   G   Am   G   F   G   (lead played over these chords)

      

      Am

  The distance it is no real friend

      G

  And time will take its time

               F

  And you will find that in the end

                G

  It brings you me, the lonely sailor

      Am

  And when the sky begins to clear

      G

  The sun it melts away my fear

       F

  I'll   cry a silent weary tear

      G

  For those that need to love me.

  

      Am   F             Em

  But I am ready for the storm

  G

  Yes Sir, ready

  Am   F             Em

  I am ready for the storm

  G

  Yes Sir, ready

  Am   F             Em

  I am ready for the storm

  G

  Yes Sir, ready

  Am   F             Em

  I am ready for the storm

      G             Am

  I'm ready for the storm
