My Son

D              A                 
When Billy had just turned eight,
        Bm   A         C          
 he was all alone in a boat by his
 G          D
 house on a lake
                    A              
He laid back and he closed his eyes
        Bm      A             C  G
 and he drifted off to sleep
   G           A        Bm       
He woke to the sound of crashing 
G          G          A       
waves, His boat was a million 
Bm    G
miles away
                 A            Bm  
And just when he thought he'd seen
     F                 C
 the end, He heard his fathers voice
 again, saying

CHORUS
F    C       Dm              Bb
Son, take my hand, rest your 
      F     C
feet on solid land
         Am                        
Keep your eyes laid on me, don't be
Dm
 swayed by the sea

    Bb     F        C
And I will lead you home (repeat)

Verse 2: (same chords as Verse 1)
You know that i live for you
But sometimes i get caught up in the
 storm and i fall
you know when i'm in that boat
and the world come seeping in
sometimes i start sinking in the sea
sometimes i'm way too deep for thee
sometimes when i'm crying out for 
fear
i hear you whisper in my ear

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Bb              F        C       
I know when you speak to me that 
Bb      F  C
I can believe
Bb          F        C         
I know if I trust in you I can 
Dm    C         Bb    D
walk across the sea

Chorus:
G        D       Em              
Son just take my hand, rest your 
C       G     D
feet on solid land
          Bm                       
Keep your eyes laid on me, don't be
 Em
 swayed by the sea
    C      G        D
And I will lead you home (3x)
