Lighthouse

James Taylor 1975

Off the coast of Africa, [ D A4 A ]

bound for South America [ Bm F#m7 ]

A world away from here [ G A4 A ]

Is a ship that sails the sea [ D A4 A ]

Is a man who's just like me [ Bm F#m7 ]

And I wish that I was there [ G A G/D D A/D ]

I'm a lonely lighthouse-not a ship out in the night [ D A/D C/D G ]

I'm watching the sea [ A Bm ]

She's come half-way round the world to see the light [ D A/D C/D G ]

and to stay away from me [ A7sus4 A7 G/D D A/D ]

There is a shipwreck lying at my feet [ Bm A G, D A/D G ]

Some weary refugee from the rolling deep [ Bm A G/D D A/D ]

Ah, would you lose it all and fall for me? [ Bm F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7 E7 ]

Couldn't we shine? [ G/D ]

I'm rolling all my golden moments into one [ D A/D C/D ]

Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day [ G/D D A/D C/D ]

Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night [ G/D D A/D C/D ]

Flashing on, flashing on, fading away [ G/D D A/D C/D ]

[ G/D ]

Well if you feel lost and lonely and don't know where to go [ D A/D C/D G

]

and you hear this song on the radio [ A Bm ]

Or even if you're feeling healthy and strong [ D A/D C/D G ]

you might like to sing along [ A7sus4 A7 G/D D A/D ]

But just because I might be standing here [ Bm A G, D A/D G ]

That don't mean I won't be wrong this time [ Bm A G/D D A/D ]

You could follow me and lose your mind [ Bm F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7 E7 ]

(repeat Chorus)

Off the coast of Africa, [ D A4 A ]

bound for South America [ Bm F#m7 ]

A world away from here [ G A4 A ]

Is a ship that sails the sea [ D A4 A ]

Is a man who's just like me [ Bm F#m7 ]

And I wish that I was there [ G A ||: G/D D A/D C/D :|| ]
