                      D                          E

    you are a reacher, so reach down.

    Reacher, don`t leave me ! Guard me and keep me

 

    in the shelter of your care each da...y !

you are a leader, won`t you show me the way.

I am a bad sea that`s failed by the waves.

 

    I am a loser that wants to be a winner,

            D          A                       E              A

    you are my last hope, don`t turn me away.

 

                       A                                     D                       A

3.    = 1. + And you are a mountain, but with that golden fountain

 

ready you are to wash my sins aw...ay.

 

    Cause I am a seeker and you are a keeper

            D        A                           E                    A

you are a teacher, won`t you teach me the way.

                                                  D                    A

    Reacher, don`t leave me ! Guard me and keep me

 

in the shelter of your care each day !
