Ode To Darkness (the Lighthouse Song) Uke tab by Lau Noah

[Verse 1]  
       (Eb)    
In the darkness of the world  
     Cm
Is a safe place above all  
          Ab
One where no one sees the scars  
              Bb
That made you stronger  

       Fm
In the ocean in the night  
       C
Is the silence of a fight  
    Am                G
To avoid the blinding light  
               F
That wants to conquer  

        Eb              Bb
And you say it's rather odd  
        Gm                Dm
That in all this world of God  
         Ab            (Abmaj7)
I'd much rather live where suns  
                 G
Don't come to shine through  

           Cm                 Bb
See, I've learned it in hard ways  
           Ab                 Eb
That when someone knows your face  
         Fm             Eb
They no longer see the soul  
            Bb
That sure defines you  

          Eb
So where nothing ever shines
        Cm
I'm the ruler by design  
      Ab
All I need is but a voice  
               G
And strings to pluck on  

       Cm                  Bb
And my heart that beats so strong  
       Ab           Eb
To the rhythm of my song  
       Fm              Eb
Has no face so he's no slave  
        Bb               Abmaj7
And the shackles are all gone  
                         Eb       Gm
And the shackles are all gone  


[Chorus]  

Cm            Gm
Turn off the lighthouse  
    Ab           Eb Bb
And blow out the fire  
Cm             Bb           Eb  Gm
    It's never saved one of us  

Cm           Gm
This pretty darkness  
   Ab      Eb Bb
Is all I desire  
Cm            Bb   
  It's always done more for  
Ab                      Eb  (Ebsus4)
Freedom than light ever does  


[Verse 2]  

        Eb  
In this solitude I keep  
       Cm
While awake and while asleep  
     Ab
If I ever wished that I  
          Bb
Could be another  

       Fm
I have found a great relief  
            C
Through the fear and through the grief  
       Am                G
In the love my songs and I  
              F
Have for each other  

          Eb                   Bb
They have taught me through my breath  
      Gm             Dm
About life and about death  
         Ab           (Abmaj7)
And have seen my future years  
            G
Before they came true  

       Cm               Bb
In the darkness of this world  
        Ab          Eb
In this quiet above all  
     Fm               Eb
All alone and right before  
              Bb
The sky could turn blue  


          Eb
So where nothing ever shines
        Cm
I'm the ruler by design  
      Ab
All I need is but a voice  
               G
And strings to pluck on  

       Cm                  Bb
And my heart that beats so strong  
       Ab           Eb
To the rhythm of my song  
       Fm              Eb
Has no face so he's no slave  
        Bb               Abmaj7
And the shackles are all gone  
                         Eb       Gm
And the shackles are all gone


[Chorus][x3]

Cm            Gm
Turn off the lighthouse  
    Ab           Eb Bb
And blow out the fire  
Cm             Bb           Eb  Gm
    It's never saved one of us  

Cm           Gm
This pretty darkness  
   Ab      Eb Bb
Is all I desire  
Cm            Bb   
  It's always done more for  
Ab                      Eb  Gm
Freedom than light ever does


Cm            Gm
Turn off the lighthouse  
    Ab           Eb Bb
And blow out the fire  
Cm             Bb           Eb  Gm
    It's never saved one of us  

Cm           Gm
This pretty darkness  
   Ab      Eb Bb
Is all I desire  
Cm            Bb   
  It's always done more for  
Ab                      Eb  Ebsus4  Eb
Freedom than light ever does
