Got no more shelter

No more sun

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

And it struck me down, struck me down
C#m
Struck me down to the ground

[Verse 2]
C#m
When it ain't up, wonder where it go
C#m
Hold the sea as somewhere to row
C#m
Over did then dead heroes
C#m
Make it easy and sunny and go
C#m
We hold the sea and know the unknown
C#m
Old Man Dan, 'cause some of them are low
C#m
Wondering 'bout where do we go
C#m
Until then, we boat
[Chorus]
