D G D
I was born on a river that flows to the sea
Bm G A
And all that I know, well, she taught it to me
D G D
She is a dangerous beauty, she's fickle and cold
Bm G A D
But if you gave her respect, she might let you grow old.
G D A
She's a Syren that calls to us when we are on shore
G D E A
You can smell her and taste her and hear the wawe's roar
D G D
She the giver and the maker and the taker of life
Bm G A D
She's the tears of the mothers and daughters and wives.
G D
So Lightkeeper make sure your flame's burning bright
Bm E A
And keep us weel off of those rocks in theese parts
G D
Guide us back home through the dark of the night
Bm E A
Oh lightkeeper shine like the moon and the stars
G A D
Shine like the moon and the stars.
D G D
Oh damn the bad weather we'll go out today
Bm G A
Shoulder to shoulder we'll pull our day's pay
D G D
Work with the wind and we'll sail with the tide
Bm G A D
And haul the fish up from wherever they hide.

G D A
We belong to the ocean for better or worse

Pitch black and blowing that's her gift to give

So let's raise a glass at the end of the day
Bm D A
And drink to the whales and the gails and the spray

To the boat and the captain and the hard-working crew
Bm G A D
To the lobster and codfish let's drink to them too
G D A
May the fishin' be good and wind always there
G D E A
Make it home make a promise and then hear the swear
D G D
By the salt in my veins and look in my eye
Bm G A D
I'm a sailor and a sailor I'll be till I die

Bm E A
And keep us weel off of those rocks in theese parts
