Thread Name: Chords Req: Ready for the Storm (Dougie MacLean)
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: READY FOR THE STORM (D MacLean)
Reprinted from the previous thread:
Here's the progrssion I use and I'm 99% sure I originally copied it from a Dougie MacLean songbook.
READY FOR THE STORM Dougie MacLean (Dougie tunes his guitar C G C G C D#, capo at 5th fret)
(Em)O the waves crash in and the tide pulls out (Em7)It's an angry sea but there is no doubt (Em6)That the lighthouse will keep shining out (Em7)To warn the lonely sailor
And the lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul Till there's nothing left that he can hold Except the rolling ocean
chorus: (Em)But I am ready for the (B7)storm, yes sir ready (Em)I am (C)ready for the (B7)storm, ready for the (Em)storm
Give me mercy for my dreams for every confrontation seems To tell me what it means to be this lonely sailor But when the sky begins to clear and the sun it melts away my fear I'll cry a silent weary tear for those that need to love me
But distance it no is no real friend and time it takes its time But you will find that in the end it brings you me, the lonely sailor But when you take me by your side you love me warm, you love me And I should have realized I had no reasons to be frightened
