verse 1 
Em 
The waves crash in and the tide pulls out 
        D 
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt 
         C 
That the lighthouse will keep shining out 
   D 
To warn a lonely sailor 
        Em 
and The lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold 
            D 
Through the sinnerâ??s bones to the sailor's soul 
             C 
Till there's nothing left that he can hold 
  D 
Except the rolling ocean 


[Refrão]
 
   Em   C              D 
Oh I am ready for the storm  Yes Sir, ready 
Em   C             D                           Em      
I am ready for the storm  I'm ready for the storm 

Intro 

verse 2 
    Em 
Oh, give me mercy for my dreams 
       D 
'Cause every confrontation seems 
   C 
To tell me what it really means 
   D 
To be this lonely sailor 
Em 
when the sky begins to clear 
     D 
The sun it melts away my fear 
      C 
and I cry a silent weary tear 
    D 
For those that mean to love me. 

Chorus 
   Em   C              D 
Oh I am ready for the storm  Yes Sir, ready 
Em   C             D                           Em      
I am ready for the storm  I'm ready for the storm

verse 3 
    Em 
The distance it is no real friend 
    D 
And time will take its time 
             C 
And you will find that in the end 
              D 
It brings you me, this lonely sailor 
    Em 
And when you take me by the hand 
    D 
You love me Lord, you love me 
       C 
And I should have realized 
          D 
I had no reasons to be frightened 


[Refrão]
 
   Em   C              D 
Oh I am ready for the storm  Yes Sir, ready 
Em   C             D                           Em      
I am ready for the storm  I'm ready for the storm
