Misc Praise Songs – Chabad - A Child Alone On The Shore (Guitar)

   Am                E
A child alone on the shore

Am                   E
Waving a light up so high

    Am                E          F
To signal a ship that no one can see

     E           F
In a rough empty ocean

    E
And vast darkened sky

Am                     E
As every sailor passed by

      Am                         E
They questioned the boy with the light

Am          E                        F
"Why little one do you stand at your post

         E           F         E
There is nothing and no one in sight?"

       Am            E
The young boy looked up

    C        Am
His face all aglow

    Am
And waved his small lantern

E
Above and below

       Dm             E
Please wait here with me,

    Dm           E
The ship we will see,

      Dm    E             Am
"Dear child explain to us how do you know?"

     Am         E
"I'm firm in my faith,

    C         E
The answer is clear

                        E
I'm so very certain the ship will appear

    Dm          E
The captain has told me

    Dm             E
And promised he'll come

    Dm      E
Of course I believe him,

    Am
For I am his son."

    E          F
The Rebbe, our captain,

    E            Am
His promise will keep

E         F         E
Knowing a chossid's emunah proclaims,

     E          F
"I'm firm in my faith

    E         Am
The answer is clear,

 E       F        E
V'hu yigoleinu - omein."
