INTRO: G   D   G

           C            G
My friend, come stand beside me
D                      G
Lately, I'm feeling so lost
                            C             G
A flood came and washed the stones of the path away
      D                         G
And a hot sun turned the mud to dust


D                            G
Calling the sheep in for the evening
          Em            C                D
There's a voice, calls above the howling wind
         G            C              G
It says, comes rest beside my little fire
      D                                G
We'll ride out the storm that's coming in


INTERLUDE: G  C  G   D   G


               C              G
My friend, you know me and my family
       D                               G
You've seen us wandering through these times
                  C               G
You've seen us in weakness and in power
       D                       G
You've seen us forgetful and unkind


D                          G
All that I want is one who knows me
       Em         C           D
A kind hand on my face when I weep
        G               C                 G
And I'd give back these things I know are meaningless
             D                     G
For a little fire beside me when I sleep


INSTRUMENTAL: G  C  G   D   G    C  G   D   G   


D                          G
All that I want is one who knows me
       Em         C           D
A kind hand on my face when I weep
        G               C                 G
And I'd give back these things I know are meaningless
             D                     G
For a little fire beside me when I sleep
