Guiding Light — Foy Vance
Chords and lyrics for Guiding Light by Foy Vance (key of D).
Verse 1
A beautiful melodic song by Foy Vance. Not the proper chord names, I know,
but, if
like me you love this song and want to get playing it then follow my guide
and
feel free to improve it and let me know. My first attempt derived from
listening
to the song (so go easy on me!
The 'D1' chord can also be played by sliding the 'D' cord up two frets.

[D]Well the road is [D1]wide,[D]
and[D] waters run of either [A][A1]side,[A]
and[A] my shadow went with [E]fading [E1]light,[E]
[E]stretching out towards [A]the night.[A2]
[D]'Cause the Sun is [D1]low,[D]
and[D] I yet have still so [A]far to go, [A1][A]
my [A]lonely heart is [E]beating [E1]slow,[E]
[E]tired of the [A]wonder,[A2]
[D]there's a sign [D1]ahead,[D]
but[D] I think it's the same one[A] again,[A][A1]
and[A] I'm thinking 'bout my [E]only [E1]friend,[E]
and [E]so I find my way [A]home.[A2]
[D]When I need [D1]to [D]get [A]home
[A]you're my [A1][A]guiding [E]light,
[E]you're my [E1][E]guiding [A]light.[A2]
[D]When I need [D1]to [D]get [A]home,
[A]you're my [A1][A]guiding [E]light,
[E]you're my [E1][E]guiding [A]light.
[D]Well the air is [D1]cold,[D]
and[D] yonder lies my [A]sleeping [A1]soul,[A]
by [A]the branches [E]broke like [E1]bones,[E]
this[E] weakened tree no longer [A]holds[A2]
but[D] the night is [D1]still,[D]
and[D] I have not yet [A]lost my [A1]will,[A]
and[A] so I will keep on [E]moving [E1]'till,[E]
[E]'till I find my way [A]home.[A2]
[D]When I need [D1]to [D]get [A]home
[A]you're my [A1][A]guiding [E]light,
[E]you're my [E1][E]guiding [A]light.[A2]
[D]When I need [D1]to [D]get [A]home,
[A]you're my [A1][A]guiding [E]light,
[E]you're my [E1][E]guiding [A]light.
