Verse 1Dm
The waves crash in and the tide rolls out
C
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
Bb
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
C
To warn a lonely sailor
Dm
and The lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
C
Through the sinner’s bones to the sailor's soul
Bb
Till there's nothing left that he can hold
C
Except the rolling ocean
ChorusDmBbC
Oh I am ready for the storm Yes Sir, ready
DmBbCDm
I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
IntroDmVerse 2Dm
Oh, give me mercy for my dreams
C
'Cause every confrontation seems
Bb
To tell me what it really means
C
To be this lonely sailor
Dm
when the sky begins to clear
C
The sun it melts away my fear
Bb
and I cry a silent weary tear
C
For those that mean to love me.
ChorusDmBbC
Oh I am ready for the storm Yes Sir, ready
DmBbCDm
I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
InterludeBbCBbCBbCBbCVerse 3Dm
The distance it is no real friend
C
And time will take its time
Bb
And you will find that in the end
C
It brings you me, this lonely sailor
Dm
And when you take me by the hand
C
You love me Lord, you love me
Bb
And I should have realized
C
I had no reasons to be frightened
ChorusDmBbC
Oh I am ready for the storm Yes Sir, ready
DmBbCDm
I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
