[Intro] G G G G G G G C [Verse 1]
  G                         G
There, in the distance--a pillar of fire

   D                        C
Rumbling like thunder in a dream

     D                               C
It roars among the pines along the lines

                  G
Of the great Mississippi
G G C D [Verse 2]
      G                            C          G
It scatters all the cattle, and rattles the leaves

     D                               C
It skids across the prairie by the moon

     D                         C
It sings like a choir, this pillar of fire

                 G C                D     C
And the name of God is the burning tune
[Chorus]
                G
I can see it swirling and whirling

       C            D
And spinning all around

  G                      C       D
Onward and upward and homeward bound

      Em                        C
Oh, Jesus, lead me through the night

               G
Pillar of Fire
G G C D [Verse 3]
     G                              C          G
Now on through the passes of the mountains it goes

       D           C
As bouldered and broken as my heart

    D                    C
I shiver and cry and I watch as it winds down

          G   C              D
To the deepest and the darkest parts
[Chorus]
                G
I can see it swirling and whirling

       C            D
And spinning all around

  G                      C       D
Onward and upward and homeward bound

      Em     G                   C
Oh, Jesus, lead me through the night

           G C D     G  C  D
Pillar of Fi-i-ire, Who-o-oah
[Bridge]
     C                    D
So where, Oh Lord, are you leading?

       G       D            C    G
I can get so scared in the night

     Am                D
My feet are cut and bleeding

            G      C          D
With every step I feel less alive
[Verse 4]
          G                    C          G
Oh, but Pillar of Fire, you blazed that trail

        D                C
You've been there every step along the road

        D                    C
From a barn in Bethlehem to Hell and back again

       G            C               D    C
You blazed the trail that leads me home
[Chorus]
                G
I can see it swirling and whirling

       C            D
And spinning all around

  G                      C       D
Onward and upward now homeward bound

      Em               D                   C
Oh, Jesus, won't you hold me through the night

           G C D
Pillar of Fi-i-ire
[Outro]
            G                  C         D
Whoah now, on to the ocean I follow it down

            G                      C                D
Where it sizzles and boils in the waves along the sound

      Em    G               C
Oh, Jesus, lead me to the shore

               G
Pillar of Fire
[6X, End on G] G G C D
