Intro: E E A B (x2)

Verse 1:
     E                       E
Well hope is an anchor, and love is a ship
  A                     B
Time is the ocean, and life is a trip
    E                                  E
You don't know where you're goin' till you know where you're at
       A                                   B
And if you can't read the stars, well you better have a map
   Dbm                            B
A compass and a conscience so you don't get lost at sea
    A
Or on some old lonely island where no one wants to be

Interlude: E E A B (x2)

Verse 2:
         E                                 E
From the beginning of creation I think our maker had a plan
    A                             B
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand
     E                                      E
And let the good light guide us through the waves and the wind
        A                        B
To the beaches in a world where we have never been
          Dbm                                    B
And we'll climb up on the mountain, y'all, we'll let our voices ring
      A
And those who never tried it, they'll be the first to sing

Interlude: E E A B (x2)

Chorus:
E  E        A       B
         Oh my, my
                    E         E      A       B
I'll see you on the other side, if I make it
                  E         E                   A        B
And it might be a long hard ride but I'm gonna take it
                          Dbm   Dbm    A
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
                        Dbm Db   A
Let the weather take me an—-y--where
                   G                                               E         E
But I know that I wanna go where the streets are gold 'cause you'll be there
   A      B
Oh my, my

Verse 3:
Well you don't bring nothin' with you here and you can't take nothin' back
I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees up prayin', scarred my back from fallin' down
Spent so much time flyin' high till I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watchin' me, would you talk to God and say
Tell Him I might need a hand to see you both some day...

Chorus:
E  E        A       B
         Oh my, my
                    E         E      A       B
I'll see you on the other side, if I make it
                  E         E                   A        B
And it might be a long hard ride but I'm gonna take it
                          Dbm   Dbm    A
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
                        Dbm Db   A
Let the weather take me an—-y--where
                   G                                               E         E
But I know that I wanna go where the streets are gold 'cause you'll be there
   A      B
Oh my, my

'Cause you'll be there
Oh my, my
