         F#
Well the road is wide
                     C#
Waters run on either side
                     G#
And my shadow in the fading light
                   C#
Is stretching out toward the night
           G#
Cause the sun is low
                         C#
And I yet have still so far to go
                        G#
And my lonely heart is beating so
              C#
Tired of the wonder
          F#
There's a sign ahead
                             C#
Though I think it's the same one again
                          G#
But I'm thinking 'bout my only friend
                  C#
So I find my way home

Chorus:
F#                 C#
When I need to get home
                   G#                       C#
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
F#                 C#
When I need to get home
                   G#                       C#
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light

Well the air is cold
And yonder lies my sleeping soul
By the branches, broke like bones
This weakened tree no longer holds
Well, the night is still
And I have not yet lost my will
Oh, and I will keep on moving 'till
Until I find my way home

Chorus - x2

So lead me on, lead me strong
Like the road I walk on
(When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light)
So lead me on, lead me strong
Like this road I walk on
(When I need to get home
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light)

Chorus
