Lighthouse
James Taylor  1975

Off the coast of Africa,  [ D A4 A ]
bound for South America [ Bm F#m7 ]
A world away from here [ G A4 A ]
Is a ship that sails the sea [ D A4 A ]
Is a man who's just like me [ Bm F#m7 ]
And I wish that I was there [ G A G/D D A/D ]

I'm a lonely lighthouse-not a ship out in the night [ D A/D C/D G ]
I'm watching the sea [ A Bm ]
She's come half-way round the world to see the light [ D A/D C/D G ]
and to stay away from me [ A7sus4 A7 G/D D A/D ]
There is a shipwreck lying at my feet [ Bm A G, D A/D G ]
Some weary refugee from the rolling deep [ Bm A G/D D A/D ]
Ah, would you lose it all and fall for me? [ Bm F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7 E7 ]

Couldn't we shine? [ G/D ]
I'm rolling all my golden moments into one [ D A/D C/D ]
Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day [ G/D D A/D C/D ]
Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night [ G/D D A/D C/D ]
Flashing on, flashing on, fading away [ G/D D A/D C/D ]
[ G/D ]

Well if you feel lost and lonely and don't know where to go [ D A/D C/D G
]
and you hear this song on the radio [ A Bm ]
Or even if you're feeling healthy and strong [ D A/D C/D G ]
you might like to sing along [ A7sus4 A7 G/D D A/D ]
But just because I might be standing here [ Bm A G, D A/D G ]
That don't mean I won't be wrong this time [ Bm A G/D D A/D ]
You could follow me and lose your mind [ Bm F#7sus4 F#7 Bm7 E7 ]
(repeat Chorus)

Off the coast of Africa,  [ D A4 A ]
bound for South America [ Bm F#m7 ]
A world away from here [ G A4 A ]
Is a ship that sails the sea [ D A4 A ]
Is a man who's just like me [ Bm F#m7 ]
And I wish that I was there [ G A ||: G/D D A/D C/D :|| ]

visit my webpage - http://www.joolsscott.co.uk late night at woods "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free" is a song written by Billy Taylor & Dick Dallas. Originally recorded by Nina Simone in 1967 on her Silk and Soul album. Billy Taylor's own instrumental version, recorded the same year, is used as the the theme music for The Film programme on BBC television. You can download my most recent 10 track piano album for $4 at http://payloadz.com/go/sip?id=467446 Billy Taylor reports that "I wrote this song, perhaps my best known composition, for my daughter Kim. This is one of the best renditions I've done, because it is very spiritual."

Other versions include: * Illinois Jacquet (1968) * The Ray Charles Singers (1969) * Shirley Scott (1969) * Glenn Yarbrough (1970) * Billy Taylor Trio (1967) * Cold Blood (1969) * Jools Holland (1997) * Leontyne Price (1997) * Marc Shaiman (1997) * Solomon Burke (1999) * Marlena Shaw (2000) * Lighthouse Family (2002) * Sharlene Hector (2004) * Martin Taylor (2005) * John Denver (2006) * Irma Thomas (2006) * The Derek Trucks Band (2006) http://www.joolsscott.blogspot.com Jools Scott is a composer & pianist for hire, based in Bath (southwest UK).
