Styx – Show Me The Way (Guitar)

   D       Em     A/C#   D             Bm         Em        Asus    A
1. Every night I say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven,

   D        Em        A/C#     D            Bm      G         Asus  A
   but every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners.

           Bm         Bb+         D/A      Bm/G#
   All the heroes and legends I knew as a child,

         G        D        Asus   A
   have fallen to idols of clay,

         D          Em   A/C#      Bm       G                      Asus   A
   and I feel this empty place inside, so afraid that I've lost my faith.

            D    A  G               D     A  G
Show me the way,        show me the way!

        D              A/C#      Bm         A        Em     Asus
Take me tonight to the river and wash my illusions away.

         A           D   G/D  A/D  G/D    - D - G/D - A/D - G/D
please, show me the way.

       D      Em    A/C#     D           Bm      G         Asus   A
2. And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred,

      D       Em       A/C#           D         Bm       G           Asus   A
   I close my eyes and know there's peace in a world so filled with hatred.

              Bm         Bb#5       D/A         Bm/G#
   That I wake up each morning and turn on the news,

        G        D/F#      Asus   A
   to find we've so far to go,

         D        Em     A/C#  Bm        G                       Asus
   and I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won't know.

 A           D    A  G              D     A  G
Show me the way,        show me the way!

            D            A/C#        Bm         A       Em     Asus
Bring me tonight to the mountain and take my confusion away 

     A          D      - G/D - A/D - G/D      - D - G/D - A/D - G/D
and show me the way.

F#7                                Bm    Bm/A
  And if I see a light, should I believe?

Gma7       Bm/F#      Em      - Asus - A - Asus - A
  Tell me, how will I know!

F - Gm/F - F - Gm/F - F - Gm/F         F - Gm/F - F - Gm/F         A - G/A - A - G/A

           D            A/C#     Bm        A         Em    Asus
Take me tonight to the river and wash my illusions away.

A            D      A  G               D      A  G
Show me the way,        show me the way!

             D                A/C#          Bm            A           Em      A
Give me the strength and the courage,to believe that I'll get there someday.

                         D      - G/D - A/D - G/D    - D - G/D - A/D - G/D
and, please, show me the way.

D     Em      A/C#   D             Bm         G         Asus  A - Asus/D
Every night I say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven,
