C           
Well the road is wide,
                   G
And waters run on either side, 
                         D
And my shadow went with fading light, 
                  G
Stretching out towards the night. 

            C
'Cause the Sun is low,
                         G
And I yet have still so far to go, 
                    D
My lonely heart is beating so, 
              G
Tired of the wonder. 

               C
But there's a sign ahead, 
                             G
Though I think it's the same one again, 
                          D
And I'm thinking 'bout my only friend, 
                  G
And so I find my way home. 


[Chorus]

  C                 G
When I need to get home 
                   D
You're my guiding light, 
              G
You're my guiding light. 

  C                 G
When I need to get home 
                   D
You're my guiding light, 
              G
You're my guiding light.


[Verse 2]

         C
Well the air is cold, 
                     G
And yonder lies my sleeping soul, 
                  D
By the branches broke like bones, 
                       G
This weakened tree no longer holds. 

          C
But the night is still, 
                    G
And I have not yet lost my will, 
                       D
Oh and I will keep on moving till, 
        G
Till I find my way home. 


[Chorus]

  C                 G
When I need to get home 
                   D
You're my guiding light, 
              G
You're my guiding light. 

  C                 G
When I need to get home 
                   D
You're my guiding light, 
              G
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home, 
You're my guiding light, 
You're my guiding light. (x6)


[Outro]

                              C
So leave me whole, leave me strong
                      G
Like the road I walk on

C                   G
When I need to get home, 
                    D
You're my guiding light, 
                    G
You're my guiding light. (x2)
