Fairweather Friends


Chorus:

             C                   F    C
Fairweather friends, fairweather sailors,
               G                  C
Will leave you stranded on life’s shore.
                           F    C
One good friend who truly loves you
              G               C
Is worth the pain your heart endures.


 C
We never know which way the wind will blow,
                                        G
Nor when or where the next turmoil will be.
    F                               C
But He’s a solid rock when troubles grow,
         G                             C
And He’s holding out a saving hand for me.


He’ll be a refuge in the storm;
He’ll be a beacon in the night;
In the chilly winds of doubt He’ll keep you warm;
When you can’t find your way He’ll be your light
