Csus2 ( hammer on Cadd9 ) Csus2 ( hammer on Cadd9 )
well the road is wide ,
G5
and waters run on either side ,
D ( hammer on Dsus4 )
and my shadow went with fading light ,
G5
stretching out towards the night .

Csus2 ( hammer on Cadd9 ) Csus2 ( hammer on Cadd9 )
’cause the sun is low ,
G5
and i yet have so much more to go ,
D ( hammer on Dsus4 )
my lonely heart is beating so ,
G5
tired of the wonder .

Csus2 ( hammer on Cadd9 ) Csus2 ( hammer on Cadd9 )
but there’s a sign ahead ,
G5
though i think it’s the same one again ,
D ( hammer on Dsus4 ) D ( hammer on Dsus4 )
and i’m thinking ’bout my only friend ,
G5
till i find my way home .

C G
so when i need to get home
Dadd11
you’re my guiding light ,
G
you’re my guiding light .

C G
when i need to get home
Dadd11
you’re my guiding light ,
G
you’re my guiding light .

by the branches broke like bones ,

this weakened tree no longer holds .

Csus2 ( hammer on C ) Csus2 ( hammer on C )
