Martina McBride – The Rope (Guitar)

  A        A       E      D    A
In Waters calm I sailed from shore

  D                  E
To see what I might see

  A                 E   D   A
And having never sailed before

  D            E
I drifted aimlessly

      D         E              A
A warm breeze rocked my boat until

   D             A
In slumber I fell sound

   A                   E    D     A
But woke to find the light grown dim

   D                E        A      A      A
And dark clouds gathering 'round

  A                 E     D    A
In haste I worked at turning back

   D         A          E
But now the wind blew wrong

   A                      E   D    A
And when the night came cold and black

   D               A     E
My strength was almost gone

     E           D               A
But with one last small thread of hope

  D          A      E
I bowed my head to pray

     A                  E   D   A
Then through the dark I saw a rope

    D             E     A
And heard a calm voice say

  A        A
Grab the rope

  D        A
Hold it tight

  A        A
In the distance

  E        E
Shines a light

  A        A
Neither fear

  D        A
Nor feel alone

  A        A
There is one

    E     D      A         A
Who'll lead you home

  A                   E     D     A
I heard my heart beat loud and fast

  D        A      E
But did as I was told

  A                  E   D   A
And with the rosey dawn at last

  D         A     E
Dry land I did behold

  E               D            A
I kissed the sandy banks and swore

  D            A         E
My sailing days were through

  A                 E     D    A
But should I ever stray from shore

  E         D       A
I know now what to do

 A        A
Grab the rope

 D        A
Hold it tight

 A        A
In the distance

 E        E
Shines a light

 A        A
Neither fear

 D        A
Nor feel alone

 A        A
There is one

    E      D     A
Who'll lead you home
