nd Fret 


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
