[Verse 1]
[E]I was[A] bor[D]n on the river
that [G]flows to the [D]sea
And [F#m]all that I kn[Bm]ow she ta[E]ught it to me
[A]She's a [D]dangerous beauty,
she's [G]fickle and [D]cold
If you [F#m]give her respect,
[E]she might let[A] you[D] grow
She's the [Bm]siren that calls to us
when [D]we're ashore
[A]We can sme[Bm]ll her and taste her
and [E]hear the waves [A]roll
She's a [D]giver and a maker
and a [G]taker of [D]lives
She's the [F#m]tears of the [Em]mothers
and [A]daughters and [D]wives
[G]So, Lightkeeper,
make sure your flame's burning bright
[D]And kee[F#m]p us well off[Bm]
of those rocks [E]an d these [A]bars
And [G]guide our way home
through the dark of the night
[D]Oh, Lig[F#m]htkeeper,
[Bm]shine like the [E]moon and the [A]stars
[G]Shine like the [A]moon and [D]the stars
[Bm][E][A][D][Bm][E][A]
We'll [D]dim the bad weather,
we'll [G]go out [D]today
And [F#m]shoulder to shoulder[Bm],
we'll [E]pull a day's [A]pay
We'll [D]work with the wind,
and we'll [G]sail with the tide
[D]And hau[F#m]l the fish up[E]
from wherever [A]they [D]hide
We be[Bm]long to the ocean,
for [D]better or [A]worse
And [Bm]God will decide
if it's bless[E]ing or [A]curse
[D]Pitch black and blowing,
that's [G]her gift to give
[D]She may [F#m]kill us tomorr[Em]ow,
but to[A]night let us [D]live
So [G]light keeper,
make sure your flame's burning bright
[D]And kee[F#m]p us well off[Bm]
of those [E]rocks and these [A]bars
And [G]guide our way home
through the dark [Em]of th[G]e night
[D]Oh, lig[F#m]ht keepers
[Bm]shine like the [E]moon and the [A]stars
[G]Shine like [A]the moon and [D]the stars[Bm][E][A][D][Bm][E][A]
[D][G]
[D][F#m][Bm][E][A][D][G][D][F#m]
[Em][A][D][Bm][E][A][D][Bm][E]
[A]So let[D]'s lift a glass at the en [G]d of the day
[D]And drink to [F#m]the wha[A]les
[G]an [Bm]d the gales[E] and the spray
[A]To the [D]boat and her captain
and her [G]hard -working crew
[D]To the lobster and the [Em]cod f[G]ish,
let's [A]drink to them [D]too.
May the [Bm]fishing be good
and the [D]wind always fair,
[A]take an [Bm]oath make a promise
and [E]then hear me [A]spare.
By the [D]salt in my veins
and the [G]look in my [D]eye,
I'm a [F#m]sailor and a [Em]sailor I'll [A]be till I [D]die.
So [G]light keeper make sure
your flame's [A]burning bright
[D]and kee[F#m]p us well off[Bm]
of those [E]rocks and these [A]bars,
and [G]guide our way home
through the dark [Em]of the ni[D]ght,
oh [F#m]light keepers
[Bm]shine like the [E]moon and the [A]stars,
[G]shine like the [A]moon and the [D]stars,[Bm]
[E]shine [A]lik[G]e
Shine the [A]moon and [D]the stars[Bm][E][A]
[G]Shine like the [A]moon and the [D]stars
