Intro
F C# F C# F C# F C#
F C#
I set out before the sun came up
F C#
Brought my light and my canoe
F C#
Convinced that’s all I needed
F
Lord knows that wasn’t true…
F F#m. Am
So I kept my lantern low, until my house was out of view,
E. Dbm. Abm. C
And by and by I reached the ocean, as the day made its debut,
E. Gm. Abm. F#m
And in the misty summer morning, I found myself under attack
F Dbm. Abm. C
And in the panic of that water, I knew there was no turning back.
F F#m. Am
So I made my peace and I set my course for an island to the west,
F#m. Am. C C7
For on that shore of sycamore, I’ll find myself some rest
F F#m. Am
Once I hid my boat and covered my oars, I fell down into that shade,
F#m. Am. C C7
And I dreamt that at my ripe old age I was back in the second grade.
C#m. Fm. Cm
And my momma she was calling for me and the bus came down my street
Db. Cm. Fb. Eb7
But I did not know what shoes to wear, and I could not find my feet
A F#m
So I floated down the hall, through the door, and everything went pale
Db. C#m Fb Fbm
I climbed aboard that yellow bus as it turned into a whale
A F#m
And then it swallowed me up whole, yeah it thrashed me all around,
D C#m Fb. Ebm
Well it chewed me up, and it spit me out, miles above the ground
Cm. Cbm
And I was falling for the water that was boiling in a cup
Bb. Fb. Ebm
And I tried to scream, but had no steam, and that’s when I woke up.
F A#m
E. C#. E. C
When I came to I was so confused, how long was I asleep?
F. C. E
The loneliness I felt right then was enough to make me weep,
E. C. E. G#
Then I heard the voice inside my head, lit a fire under me,
A. C
It said, "Your fear is gonna cost a lot, but your courage comes for free".
E. Gm. Abm. F#m
So I thanked that little island, I paddled off without a care
E. Dbm. Abm. C7
For I know not where I’m going, but I’ll know it when I’m there,
E. Gm. Abm. F#m
And I hope that no-one’s a-missin’ me back in my home town
E. Dbm. Abm. C7
For together we will always be, even though I’m not around.
E. F#m. Abm.
And the sea swirled by like a ballet, and it sang its gentle song,
F#m. Am. C. B7
But a distant rumble warned me it wouldn’t be that way for long,
E. F#m. Abm.
So I spoke out and I told the night, "This life’s not only mine,
F#m. Am. C. B7
I am just your humble passenger, and I trust your grand design".
Dbm. A# Am
By and by the clouds came lumbering through and the raindrops staggered in,
Eb. C Cbm
And the waves lined up, two by two, for the show would soon begin
G Fm. D C#
And the lightning bolts ripped through the sky like sharks that missed a meal,
A Gm. D#
And the wind went up so hard and cold just like a wall of steel
B Am. F
Then all at once, the sea below picked me up a mile high
C C7
As it threw me to the ocean’s floor I heard the night’s reply:
E. Gm
"Well you see, my humble passenger
Am Gm
The sorrow that I feel?
E. Dm
For I do not know where you belong
Abm. C7
And I do not want this wheel"
F Gm Am Gm
F Dm Am C7
E
