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 shining out
G
To warn the lonely sailor
Am
The lightning 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
Am       F             Em
But I am ready for the storm
G
Yes Sir, ready
Am F              Em
I am ready for the storm
G               Am
I'm ready for the storm

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
Am    F               Em
But I am ready for the storm
G
Yes Sir, ready
Am   F            Em
I am ready for the storm
G               Am
I'm ready for the storm
Am G F G Am G F G (lead played over these chords)
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.
Am    F                Em
But I am ready for the storm
G
Yes Sir, ready
Am   F             Em
I am ready for the storm
G
Yes Sir, ready
Am   F            Em
I am ready for the storm
G
Yes Sir, ready
Am   F             Em
I am ready for the storm
G                Am
I'm ready for the storm
