Andrew Peterson - Steady As She Goes Chords

[Intro]

E B A 2x

[Verse 1]

       E
I see the thunderheads rise
          A
In the northern sky
         E
And my heart is sinking
           A
In the threatening tide
           E
'cause my portside's heavy
          A
With the worries of life
          E
And the worries of dying
          A
On the starboard side


[Verse 2]

          E
Well, I wonder, am I really
         A
Stouthearted enough?
            E
'Cause the ocean is rolling
             A
And these waters are rough
             E
There's a storm cloud brewing
        A
In the sky above
            E
So let my vessel be sturdy
         B
Let my anchor be tough


[Chorus]

               C#m                A
'Cause the clouds are known to gather
          E                B
And the wind is prone to blow
                 A          B
I'll keep her steady as a river
           A                 B
When the wild wind comes to blow
          A               B
I've already been delivered
                     E           A
So I'll keep her steady as she goes


[Verse 3]
          E                                A
Well, I shiver in the wake of the raging storm
           E
And my rigging is tattered
            A
And these sails are torn
        E                     A
Gonna cast this cargo overboard
               E
But I ain't setting my headings
          B
For no change in course

[Chorus]

               C#m                A
'Cause the clouds are known to gather
          E                B
And the wind is prone to blow
                 A          B
I'll keep her steady as a river
           A                 B
When the wild wind comes to blow
          A               B
I've already been delivered
                     E           A
So I'll keep her steady as she goes

E B E A


[Bridge]

                             F#m          E
So when you can't find the faith to slumber
               A        C#m    A
When you're thrown by every swell
                C#m              B
You know that you're not going under
             F#m          C#m   B
With the captain at the helm


[End Chorus]
                A          B
So keep her steady as a river
           A                 B
When the wild wind comes to blow
          A               B
You've already been delivered
                     E           A
So just keep her steady as she goes
                E              A
So keep her steady as she goes
           B    A   E
Steady as she goes
