The Lantern On The Wagon(Chords)

	        Am                                G 
I was out on night guard when the storm came rollin in 
Am                                    G 
The lead steer got up to his feet and raced into the wind 
Am                                       G 
The air was filled with lightning and it jumped from horn to horn 
   F                                     G             Am 
My night horse took the challenge and we rode into the storm 

Am                                   G 
I tried to turn the leaders but they scattered like the wind 
Am                             G 
I held onto a hundred head and turned them back again 
Am                            G 
I rode with no direction as I pushed them thru the night 
     F                             G             Am 
Then way off in the distance was a tiny point of light 

    F                                               Am 
Yes the lantern on the wagon led me safely thru the storm 
                                    F            G 
A beacon shining brightly when your lost and all alone 
   F                                                    Am 
As I wondered thru the darkness what a warm and welcome sight 
    F                                  G        Am 
The lantern on the wagon led me safely thru the night 

Am                                  G 
Your life has no direction when you think you've lost your way 
Am                                  G 
I had a friend who helped me, all I had to do was pray 
Am                                           G 
He's the one whos love is constant you don't have to ride alone 
    F                                   G               Am 
All you need to do is ask him and he'll lead you safely home 

     F                                              Am 
Like the lantern on the wagon he will lead thru the storm 
                                    F            G 
A beacon shining brightly when your lost and all alone 
   F                                                     Am 
As you wonder thru the darkness he's a warm and friendly sight 
    F                                  G                Am 
His light of love will lead you safely thru the darkest night 
    F                                      G                Am 
Yes his light of love will lead you safely thru the darkest night
