Verse 1:
G G7
There's a lighthouse on the hillside

That overlooks life's sea

When I'm tossed it sends out a light

That I might see

And the light that shines in darkness now

Will safely lead us o’er

If it wasn't for that old lighthouse
Am7 D7 G D
My ship would sail no more
Verse 2:

Now everybody that lives around us

Says tear that lighthouse down

No use of it standing ‘round
G G7
But then my mind goes back to that stormy night

Where would this ship be
