[Verse 1]
I rGemember once I broke down in the country
I was sEmixteen with a broken heart in bloom
And I wDalked home through the pines
Nobody saw me but the mGoon
By sunGrise I could hear the church bells ringing
I gEmot there as the saints were marching in
I sDat down on the back row
And heard the story once agGain
[Chorus]
And the sEmervants of the secret fire
Were gDathered there
The eAmmbers of the aGges
Like a Cliving prayerD  
And aEmll at once I saw the shadows fDlee
ShCine yDour liCght Amon Gme, on Emme
Be a liDght unto my path
And a lamp unto my fGeet
[Verse 2]
They flGew us down to oklahoma city
Yeah, but EmI could hardly stand there on the stage
So sDick I couldn't speak
And the fever wouldn't brGeak
But when I steGpped up to the microphone I heard it
It was the voEmices of the brothers at my side
They were siDnging out my songC  
When the song in me had diGed
[Chorus]
   EmODh, shCine yDour liCght Don Emme
Em C Em C
SomEmebody come and get me when I'm goneC  
SomEmebody come and get me when I'm gone, get me when I'm goneC  
[Verse 3]
Two yeaGrs ago I drove into a darkness
I sEmtraightened every curve on cane ridge road
And I could hDear the flapping wings
Of every devil I have kGnown
And the inGside of my car was like a casket
But then it flEmooded with a blaze of sacred light
She was cDalling me back home
And as I pulled into the dGriveD  
[Chorus]
I knew the seEmrvants of the secret fire
Were gDathered there
The eAmmbers of the aGges
Like a Cliving prayerD  
She was stEmanding on the porch where I could sDee
ShCine yDour liCght Amon Gme, on Emme
Be a liDght unto my path
And a lamp unto my fGeet
Oh, be a liDght unto my pathC  
And a lamp unto my fCeetG

[Verse 1]

I remember once I broke down in the country

I was sixteen with a broken heart in bloom

And I walked home through the pines

Nobody saw me but the moon

By sunrise I could hear the church bells ringing

I got there as the saints were marching in

I sat down on the back row

And heard the story once again

[Chorus]

And the servants of the secret fire

Were gathered there

Am G

The embers of the ages

C D

Like a living prayer

Em D

And all at once I saw the shadows flee

C D C Am G Em

Shine your light on me, on me

Be a light unto my path

And a lamp unto my feet

[Verse 2]

They flew us down to oklahoma city

Yeah, but I could hardly stand there on the stage

So sick I couldn't speak

And the fever wouldn't break

But when I stepped up to the microphone I heard it

It was the voices of the brothers at my side

D C

They were singing out my song

When the song in me had died

[Chorus]

Em D C D C D Em

Oh, shine your light on me

Em C Em C

Em C

Somebody come and get me when I'm gone

Em C

Somebody come and get me when I'm gone, get me when I'm gone

[Verse 3]

Two years ago I drove into a darkness

I straightened every curve on cane ridge road

And I could hear the flapping wings

Of every devil I have known

And the inside of my car was like a casket

But then it flooded with a blaze of sacred light

She was calling me back home

G D

And as I pulled into the drive

[Chorus]

I knew the servants of the secret fire

Were gathered there

Am G

The embers of the ages

C D

Like a living prayer

Em D

She was standing on the porch where I could see

C D C Am G Em

Shine your light on me, on me

Be a light unto my path

And a lamp unto my feet

D C

Oh, be a light unto my path

C G

And a lamp unto my feet
