A great folky tune by Joe Summers. Not 100% sure of the lyrics, but see for yourself.
G C
This light of mine will offer up for handing,
G D
This light of mine will take you to the brink,
G C
To feel it all come sweetly flooding over,
G D G
To feel free, free enough to breath again
(Instrumental Verse, banjo enters)
G C
There's a strange, strange feeling in this city,
G D
There's a dark, dark figure on the hill,
G C
And this speechless, wandering committee,
G D G
Will take all your hope into their will
D C Em
Calling down, down, down among the lonesome,
D C G
Crying out, till my voice will make no sound,
D C Em
Colder hands won't offer any help son,
D G
Turn it out, turn the boat around
(Instrumental Verse)

G C
There's a glow down there among the breakers,
G D
Could a calmer wind be calm and true?
G C
To feel it all come sweetly flooding over,
G D G
Let the water wash away the new
D C Em
Calling down, down, down among the lonesome,
D C G
Crying out, till my voice will make no sound,
D C Em
Colder hands won't offer any help son,
D G
Turn it out, turn the boat around
D C Em
Calling down, down, down among the lonesome,
D C G
Crying out, till my voice will make no sound,
(Accompaniment out, slow guitar strums only)
D C Em
Colder hands won't offer any help son,
(Accompaniment back in)
D G
Turn it out, turn the boat around
D G
Turn it out, turn the boat around
(Slower)
D G
Turn it out, turn the boat around
