Lighthouse Song 
Jim Negaard

          C                 Cmaj7
There's a lighthouse keeper mocked and scorned
   Am                 Am7
By those who say that time has worn
    F          F/E
His lighthouse obsolete
       F                  G7
No one needs it now, it's an antique.
         C                       Cmaj7
Still he keeps it lit, keeps its fires trimmed, 
           Am	          Am7
shines its beacon to the sea
            F                 G7                C
And lets it shine, he lets it shine, he lets it shine.

There's a seaman on the darkest sea
Where tempests toss him helplessly
From crashing crest to deepest trough
And all hope seems a lifetime off.
A harbor light may be out there, and so he says a prayer
That it will shine, let it shine, please let it shine.

C           Cmaj7    Am   Am7
This little light of mine, 
C   Cmaj7    Am     Am7
I'm going to let it shine
F           F/E      F    F/E
This little light of mine, 
F            F/E    G7
I'm going to let it shine
C           Cmaj7    Am   Am7
This little light of mine, 
C            E7     Am
I'm going to let it shine
       C             G7            C
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. 

(other verses as desired)

The captain sees a light though dim,
He turns his ship, sets its sails in trim
The watchman says, "I see a light!"
They sail close till it glows quite bright.
Till o'er the deep they safely come
Unto the king's own home
Where they will shine, they will shine, yes they will shine.

And we will shine, yes we will shine, how we will shine!
