Intro: C Cmaj7 Am Am7 F G

C                    Cmaj7       Am         Am7
Seems like I've been out here in stormy seas 
 F                     G
About as long as I can stand.
         C        Cmaj7    Am         Am7
And it's like you send me another wave
F                     G
Every time I catch my breath.
         Am                   F              C          Cmaj7 Am
And I've trimmed my sails and set my course again, Lord, and again
C                  Cmaj7     Am           Am7  F          G       C - C
Lord, if you could find me a place to land, my ship needs to come in.

There's dark clouds to my right, Lord, and dark clouds to my left
There's thundering and there's lightning.
And I keep sending out my signals of distress,
With no one there to see them.
And the waves crash up over the bow and soak me to my skin.
Lord, if you could find me a place to land, my ship needs to come in.

(Instrumental verse)

If you could clear the skies, Lord, for just one minute,
And I could see the stars,
I could find my points and head back out
And try, Lord, just once more.
But, Lord, I'm beat up and I'm broken, and my light is getting dim.
Lord, if you could find me a place to land, my ship needs to come in.

(Note: This resembles what Fred typically performs live more than the version on "Dusty".)
