This is a full song tab based off of the great intro tab by legends35, and it is a
little bit rough, but I think this is a pretty good version of the whole song.

Here's all the lyrics with the underlying chords above(chord names may be wrong):
Fadd4/G:313211
Fmaj7/E:x33211
Fmaj13/E:x23211
Fmaj11/E:x13211
G#m/B:x2110x
Dm/A:x0776x -or- x00231
F Fadd4/G
You are needing a friend
F Fadd4/G
For to follow, for to fend
F Fadd4/G
And I haven't got a clue
Fmaj7/E Fmaj13/E
If I'm getting through to you
Fmaj11/E
My lighthouse
F Fadd4/G
In the violent moonlight
F Fadd4/G
I am searching the tide
F Fadd4/G
In a vessel, in the storm
Fmaj7/E Fmaj13/E
And you're the kind host in the port
Fmaj11/E
My lighthouse
F Fsus4
And we'll be there to right our wrongs
F Fsus4
In the time it took to write this song
F Fsus4
And we'll beat the ghost with our bare hands
F Fsus4
And we'll skin the corpse and we'll love and laugh
F Fsus4
And we'll dance all everlasting day
F Fsus4
And you'll sing to me everything I meant to say
F Fsus4
And we'll drink to the gentle, the meek and the kind
F G#m/B(?)
And the funny little flaws in this earthly design
Am Dm/A
From the Reeperbahn to the Sundarban
Am C
I will heed your call from the dust and sand
G Bm
And I'll save all my stories for thee
