Verse 3: Strummed + muted (one two, one two, one two)
She'd had to leave us; my keeper, he prayed for a safe return,
But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned.
He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wind,
And me so helpless, as dashed against the rocks she met her end.
Chorus(picking lightly Em, G, D) Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the shore. He kissed her cold face, and that they'd be together soon he swore. (Strummed/picked slowly Em, G, D) I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand, (Normal Strumming Em, G, D) Then he climbed my tower, and off the edge of me he ran. Chorus hook Verse: picking lightly I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves, And though I'm empty, I still warn the sailors on their way.
