Chorus:
A                                  D  A
Fair-weather friends fair-weather sailors
                  E                 A
Will leave you stranded on life's shore
                           D      A
One good friend who truly loves you
              E                 A
Is worth the pain your heart endures

 A
We never know which way the wind will blow
                                    E
Nor when or where the next turmoil will be
     D            E                  A  D
But he's a solid rock when troubles grow
     A                  E               A
And He's holding out a saving hand for me

Chorus

He'll be a refuge in the storm
He'll be a beacon in the night
In the chilly winds of doubt he'll keep you warm
When you can't find your way he'll be your light

Chorus
