Capo 1st fret. 
 
D              A                         Bm   A         C           G          D 
When Billy had just turned eight, he was all alone in a boat by his house on 
a lake 
                    A                      Bm      A             C  G 
He laid back and he closed his eyes and he drifted off to sleep 
   G           A        Bm       G          G          A       Bm    G 
He woke to the sound of crashing waves, His boat was a million miles away 
                 A            Bm       F                 C 
And just when he thought he'd seen the end, He heard his fathers voice 
again, saying 
 
CHORUS 
F    C       Dm              Bb      F     C 
Son, take my hand, rest your feet on solid land 
         Am                        Dm       
Keep you eyes laid on me, don't be swayed by the sea 
    Bb     F        C 
And I will lead you home (repeat)

Bb              F        C       Bb      F  C 
I know when you speak to me that I can believe 
Bb          F        C         Dm    C         Bb    D

G        D       Em              C       G     D 
Son just take my hand, rest your feet on solid land
