Then it came to me in a flash of light
F#m
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
F#m
In the bottom of the barrel, on the longest day
F#m
In the hardest winter, in the falling rain
F#m F#m F#m
I saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
F#m F#m
Held my head up and it struck me down

Down to the ground
Dm
And it struck me down, struck me down
F#m
Struck me down to the ground

F#m
When it ain't up, wonder where it go
F#m
Hold the sea as somewhere to row
F#m
Over did then dead heroes
F#m
Make it easy and sunny and go
F#m
We hold the sea and know the unknown
F#m
Old Man Dan, 'cause some of them are low
F#m
Wondering 'bout where do we go
F#m
Until then, we boat
[Chorus]
