Kathy Mattea - Ready for the Storm


  ----->(Capo 5)-----


(verse 1)                        
        Am
Oh, the waves crash in and the tide pulls out,
        G
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt,
         F
That the lighthouse will keep shinin' out,
   G
To warn the lonely sailor,
    Am
The lightnin' strikes and the wind cuts cold,
            G
Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul,
             F
Till there's nothing left that he can hold,
  G
Except the rolling ocean,


(chorus)
    Am   F             Em
But I am ready for the storm,
G               Am   F             Em
Yes Sir, ready, I am ready for the storm,
    G             Am
I'm ready for the storm,


(verse 2)
    Am
Oh, give me mercy for my dreams,
       G
'Cause every confrontation seems,
   F
To tell me what it really means,
   G
To be this lonely sailor,
    Am
And when you take me by your side,
    G
You love me warm, you love me,
      F
And I   should have realized,
         G
I had no reasons to be frightened,


(chorus)
    Am   F             Em
But I am ready for the storm,
G               Am   F             Em
Yes Sir, ready, I am ready for the storm,
    G             Am
I'm ready for the storm,
    G             Am
I'm ready for the storm,



(lead - Am - G - F - G - Am - G - F - G)
    


(verse 3)
    Am
The distance it is no real friend,
    G
And time will take its time,
             F
And you will find that in the end,
              G
It brings you me, the lonely sailor,
    Am
And when the sky begins to clear,
    G
The sun it melts away my fear,
     F
I'll   cry a silent weary tear,
    G
For those that need to love me,



(chorus)
    Am   F             Em
But I am ready for the storm,
G               Am   F             Em
Yes Sir, ready, I am ready for the storm,
    G             Am
I'm ready for the storm,
G               Am   F             Em
Yes Sir, ready, I am ready for the storm,
G
G               Am   F             Em
Yes Sir, ready, I am ready for the storm,
    G             Am
I'm ready for the storm
