Lighthouse
James Taylor 1975
Off the coast of Africa, [ [D] ]
bound for South America [ [Bm] ]
world away from here [ [G] ]
Is a ship that sails the sea [ [D] ]
Is a man who's just like me [ [Bm] ]
And I wish that I was there [ [G] ]
I'm a lonely lighthouse-not a ship out in the night [ [D] ]
I'm watching the sea [ [A] ]
She's come half-way round the world to see the light [ [D] ]
and to stay away from me [ [A7sus4] ]
There is a shipwreck lying at my feet [ [Bm] G, ]
Some weary refugee from the rolling deep [ [Bm] ]
Ah, would you lose it all and fall for me? [ [Bm] ]
Couldn't we shine? [ [G/D] ]
I'm rolling all my golden moments into one [ [D] ]
Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day [ [G/D] ]
Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night [ [G/D] ]
Flashing on, flashing on, fading away [ [G/D] ]
[ [G/D] ]
Well if you feel lost and lonely and don't know where to go [ [D]
]
and you hear this song on the radio [ [A] ]
Or even if you're feeling healthy and strong [ [D] ]
you might like to sing along [ [A7sus4] ]
But just because I might be standing here [ [Bm] G, ]
That don't mean I won't be wrong this time [ [Bm] ]
You could follow me and lose your mind [ [Bm] ]
(repeat Chorus)
Off the coast of Africa, [ [D] ]
bound for South America [ [Bm] ]
world away from here [ [G] ]
Is a ship that sails the sea [ [D] ]
Is a man who's just like me [ [Bm] ]
And I wish that I was there [ [G] ||: :|| ]
