Thread Name: Chords Req: Ready for the Storm (Dougie MacLean)
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: READY FOR THE STORM (D MacLean)
This is how I play it:
.....Bm The waves crash in and the tide tide pulls out .........A it's an angry sea but there is no doubt ...........G that the lighthouse will keep shining out ....F#m to warn the lonely sailor ..........Bm and the lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold ...............A through the sailor's bones, through the sailor's soul ...............G till there's nothing left that he can hold ..F#m except the rolling ocean
....Bm.....G.............A but I am ready for the storm, yes sir, ready Bm.....G..............A.........A.............Bm I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm
Etc.
Oh give me mercy for my dreams cause every confrontation seems to tell me what it really 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
CHORUS
The distance it is no real friend and time will take its time and you will find that in the end it brings you me, the lonely sailor and when you take me by your side you love me warm, you love me and I should have realized I had no reason to be frightened
