[Intro]
Em G C
Em G C D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D            Em
Through the wild, 'tween river and dale
Watched by the sun, humbled by hills
         C     Am                          Em
Sleep is mercy, though I've a ways til I'm beggin
 
Em
Color me grateful for the horizon of day
The breath out of one and the courage it takes
        C       Am                Em
To find closure, in the wake of disaster
           C       Am                  Em
Oh to find saviors, in the way of the water
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                    Em
Steady, steady, steady
            D
Steady as a storm
                Em       G
But lo' an ever-present home
C Em
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em
Through the shadows, beyond the gunwale
                                            C
The safety aboard a vessel propelled by my own will
Am                       Em
Drifting away from the danger
 
Em
Under the willow's t'ween the sheen of a dew
Some laugh at the wind, and they-
                     C
Oh some cry to their makers
Am                   Em
Listening out for an answer
             C      Am                   Em
Dragging the river, always an urge for a wager
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                    Em
Steady, steady, steady
            D
Steady as a storm
A                    Em  G
But lo' an ever-present home
 
Am                    Em
Steady, steady, steady
                     D
To feel the skin and oooh
                        Em       G
The journey's worth its waiting for
 
 
[Bridge]
C Em G C D
    Yeah
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em                G
So, got me to the open sea
     C                A
With fair winds followin'
C       G       A     Em  C
In pursuit of wonder, to leave
Em
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                    Em
Steady, steady, steady
            D
Steady as a storm
A                    Em  G
But lo' an ever-present home
 
Am                    Em
Steady, steady, steady
                D
Feel the skin and oooh
                        Em          G
The journey's worth its weight in gold
