C        C/E             Am G
You were there before me
    C      C/E         Am           G
And what a pair we eventually would be
   C          C/E       Am              G
My older blood, you were made in God's hand
              C       C/E          Am         N.C.
And I've learnt so much, could you even understand


[Chorus]
     F           Am       G            C
That you were my gui-ding light in our early days
      F          Am       G          C
You'd help me to sleep at night when I was afraid
     F              Am    G           C            F
Then you'd be there by my side and I never say enough
       G
That I love you

[Instrumental]

C C/E Am G    x2

[Verse 2]
C         C/E               Am G
When we'd fight it would be
C      C/E        Am            G
Over right before I could say sorry
    C             C/E            Am           G
And though you're far from where home used to be
       C      C/E          Am         G
I will always go where you are if you need


[Chorus]
        F           Am      G          C
Because you were my guiding light when I tried to sing
      F           Am    G           C
You'd teach me to harmonize and with everything you'd
F           Am       G         C               F
Be there to fight my fight and I never say enough
       G
That I love you

[Instrumental]

C C/E Am G    x4

[Outro]
C        C/E             Am G
You were there before me
    C      C/E          Am        G       N.C.
And I'm so thankful you gave your love to me
