Chords

The strumming is tricky, so first try to play a few times over the song. [Intro] Em G C Em G C D [Verse 1]
D            Em
Through the wild, 'tween river and dale
Watched by the sun, humbled by hills
         C     Am                          Em
Sleep is mercy, though I've a ways til I'm beggin

Em
Color me grateful for the horizon of day
The breath out of one and the courage it takes
        C       Am                Em
To find closure, in the wake of disaster

           C       Am                  Em
Oh to find saviors, in the way of the water
[Chorus]
Am                    Em
Steady, steady, steady

            D
Steady as a storm

                Em       G
But lo' an ever-present home
C Em [Verse 2]
Em
Through the shadows, beyond the gunwale

                                            C
The safety aboard a vessel propelled by my own will

Am                       Em
Drifting away from the danger

Em
Under the willow's t'ween the sheen of a dew
Some laugh at the wind, and they-
                     C
Oh some cry to their makers

Am                   Em
Listening out for an answer

             C      Am                   Em
Dragging the river, always an urge for a wager
[Chorus]
Am                    Em
Steady, steady, steady

            D
Steady as a storm

A                    Em  G
But lo' an ever-present home

Am                    Em
Steady, steady, steady

                     D
To feel the skin and oooh

                        Em       G
The journey's worth its waiting for
[Bridge]
C Em G C D
    Yeah
[Verse 3]
Em                G
So, got me to the open sea

     C                A
With fair winds followin'

C       G       A     Em  C
In pursuit of wonder, to leave
Em [Chorus]
Am                    Em
Steady, steady, steady

            D
Steady as a storm

A                    Em  G
But lo' an ever-present home

Am                    Em
Steady, steady, steady

                D
Feel the skin and oooh

                        Em          G
The journey's worth its weight in gold
