              Intro F  C  G  
        Am  Dm  C 
        G  Am  F 
 
 
 
                          C       G 
On the street below these walls 
                          Am                 Dm 
Where I used to walk, now I can barely crawl 
                         C 
All this darkness rising tall 
G             C                 Dm                   F 
Lord, shine a light for me, I'm waiting to be called 
 
 
                C    G  Am  F 
I'm ready to go home 
               C 
I'm ready to receive 
   G        Am     F 
Forgiveness for my sins 
               C   G   F 
I'm ready to begin 
 
 
 
                       C     G 
Take this river to the sea 
                          Am                   Dm 
Where the delta flows the tide is washing over me 
                            C 
Guide this soul to heaven's door 
G               C                Dm                 F 
Show me where tomorrow lies, I'm waiting to be home 
 
                 C    G  Am  F 
I'm ready to lay down 
                 C 
I'm ready now to sleep 
  G       Am     F 
A promise I must keep 
                C    G Am 
I'm ready to go home 
 
 
                                  F      Bb 
Sometimes I lay down with these memories 
                        Ab         Em 
Breathe shallow, deep inside of me 
                 Gm             Dm 
Time has run its course with me 
                    C 
And I'm ready to go home 
 
( C  G  Am  F ) 
( C  G  Am  F ) 
( C  G  F ) 
 
 
 
                         C    G 
When the evening shadows fall 
                             Am                Dm 
When the time has come, I'll let defences fall 
                     C 
To surrender's to survive 
G              C             Dm                F 
I will give up everything to those I leave behind 
 
 
                C    G  Am  F 
I'm ready to go home 
               C 
I'm ready to receive 
   G        Am     F 
Forgiveness for my sins 
               C   G   F 
I'm ready to begin 
 
                 C    G  Am  F 
I'm ready to lay down 
                 C 
I'm ready now to sleep 
  G       Am     F 
A promise I must keep 
                C    G   Am 
I'm ready to go home    again 
 
Final F  Am  C 
        F  C  G  Am
