AmOh, the waves crash in and the tide pulls outGIt's an angry sea but there is no doubtFThat the lighthouse will keep shining outGTo warn the lonely sailorAmThe lightning strikes and the wind cuts coldGThrough the sailor's bones to the sailor's soulFTill there's nothing left that he can holdGExcept the rolling oceanAm F EmBut I am ready for the stormGYes Sir, readyAm F EmI am ready for the stormG AmI'm ready for the storm(x3)----------------------------------|--3--1--0--1--0-------------------|-----------------2--0--------0--2-|-----------------------0--2-------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|

Am
Oh, give me mercy for my dreams
G
'Cause every confrontation seems
F
To tell me what it really means
G
To be this lonely sailor
Am
And when you take me by your side
G
You love me warm, you love me
F
And I should have realized
G
I had no reasons to be frightened
Am F Em
But I am ready for the storm
G
Yes Sir, ready
Am F Em
I am ready for the storm
G Am
I'm ready for the storm
Am G F G Am G F G (lead played over these chords)
Am
The distance it is no real friend
G
And time will take its time
F
And you will find that in the end
G
It brings you me, the lonely sailor
Am
And when the sky begins to clear
G
The sun it melts away my fear
F
I'll cry a silent weary tear
G
For those that need to love me.
Am F Em
But I am ready for the storm
G
Yes Sir, ready
Am F Em
I am ready for the storm
G
Yes Sir, ready
Am F Em
I am ready for the storm
G
Yes Sir, ready
Am F Em
I am ready for the storm
G Am
I'm ready for the storm
