Intro : | C - - - | Am* - Am - | F - - - | G4 - - - |
Verse 1 : There's a ship out, on the ocean
F G4___G
At the mercy of the sea
It's been tossed about, lost and broken
F G4___G
Wandering aimlessly
Bb6 Am7 G4___G
And God somehow you know that ship is me
Verse 2 : 'Cause there's a lighthouse, in the harbor
F G4___G
Shining faithfully
Pouring its light out, across the water
F G4___G
For this sinking soul to see
Bb6 Am7 G4___G
That someone out there still believes in me
Refrain : On a prayer, in a song
I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on who-hooh
Raining down, against the wind
I'm reaching out 'til we reach the circle's end
When you come back to me again
Verse 3 : There's a moment we all come to
F G4__G
In our own time and our own space
Where all that we've done, we can undo
F G4____G
If our heart's in the right pla___ce
Refrain : On a prayer, in a song
I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on who-hooh
Raining down, against the wind
I'm reaching out 'til we reach the circle's end
When you come back to me again
Bridge : And again I see my yesterday's in front of me
Unfolding like a mystery
You're changing all that is and used to be
Key Change D! Bm
Refrain : On a prayer, in a song
I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on who-hooh
Raining down, just the wind
I'm reaching out 'til we reach the circle's end
When you come back to me again
When you come back to me a____gain
Outro : | D - - - | Bm - - - | C9 - G/B - | D - - - |

The Am* is also used at the end of the verse 1 and 2 ( The Am Parts are all
Am* Am ), but it's not so important. It's just an interesting note for piano
players I guess.
Additional Picking :
If you want it to sound like the piano in the song, then you have to do a
picking like this one here :
There's a ship out on the oc____________ean
As the mer_____cy of the se_________________a
But for guitar players I wouldn't recommend this picking. Better try a
standard finger- or flatpicking.
Additional Comments :
I heard the song a few hours ago for the first time and said to myself that I
must be the one to transcribe it. :-)
Anyway ...... I'm pretty sure that the original Key of this Song was D and
not C ! For guitar players the song would sound much better in D ( especially
the Dm Chord is an octave to high, if you compare the guitar and the original
piano ). They must have decided to change the Key to C when they decided this
song to be a piano song.
