[Verse 1]
[Am]Toni[C]ght my[F] son,
be still and sleep [Dm]while storms [Em]are crashing
[Am]On this deep we drop the
anchor with the [F]hope
This [Dm]vessel holds [Em]us still
[Am]Oh Great Captain,
You navigate [F]the storm
My son be still and sleep [Dm]while
storms [Em]are crashing
[Am]Oh Great Captain,

[Interlude 1]
You navigate the storm
[Am][Em][Am][C][Em][Am]

[Verse 2]
An angry [Am]water [F]surges [Dm]the waves have taken
it[Em]s to[Am]ll[Em][Am][Em][Am][F][G][Dm]
While this ship submerges [Em]on my
tempest [G]soul[Am][G][Dm][G][Am]
And though we've weathered
[C]the sto[G]rm[Am]
You know the [C]next one could be
[G]much [Dm]stronger[Am]
And I can [C]see the [G]shoreline[Dm][Am]
Is a [C]mirage [G]or a [Dm]sign?
[Am]I can feel the anchor [G]fast as[Am]
I meet each sud[G]den blast
[Am]And the cable though u[G]nseen [Am]bears the
heavy [G]strain [Am]between[G]
Each storm [Am]I safely [G]rid[Am]e until
the turn[G]ing [Am]of the tide[C][G]
[Dm]As I meet ea[C]ch s[Em]ud den blast

[Verse 3]
[Am]
We drop [C]the an[G]chor [C]with the [F]hope we won't
[Dm]set sail[Am] into [C]the stor[F]m[Dm][Am]
We set the [C]sails and tie the [F]rope [Dm]tonight my [Am]son,
be [C]still and [F]sleep[Dm]
[Am][C][Am][C][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
[C][Am]
My anchor holds until this [G]tempest
calms [F]and [Em]dies[G]
[Am]For this squall's the throne t[C]o [Am]which
[Em]He r[G]ides[F][Em][G]
[Am]Still this faith will [G]last the waves de[F]mise
All these [Em]pur [G]ging[Am]
skies will never see [C]my end
[Am]

[Verse 5]
We drop the [C]anchor with the [F]hope we won't
[Dm]set sail[Am] into [C]the stor[F]m[Am][Dm][Am]
We set the [C]sails and tie the [F]rope [Dm]tonight my [Am]son,
be [C]still and sleep
[F][Am]

[Verse 6]
[Am]As t[C]he[F][Am][C][Am][G][Am][G][Am]
waves [G]crash [Am]over and over
You are [G]my [Am]ancho[G]r[Am][G][Am][G]
[F]Every [G]gale I [Am]meet
The [C]plight of all the seas can
[F]'t [G]separate me
[Am]For all I [Am]have is Yours
