I have added the changes suggested by Gville-CH and ndn18 to the lyrics. Both
versions sound good, but I am partial to this one.
Light on the Stage
Capo 4
[Am] [G] [F] [C] [Am]
[Am]They said, "We don't t[G]ake your kind. No, we d[F]on't want no guys like [C]you."
[Am]I lied my way until Dec[G]ember, hoping Ch[F]ristmas would pull me th[C]rough.
[Dm]Then I hung ar[G]ound thinking re[C]ligion would [G]take its t[Am]oll.
[Dm]The Lord threw no si[G]gns that day. It seemed that [C]no one would [G]take me
[Am]at all.
T[F]hen I saw the li[G]ght on the s[Am]tage...
Chorus:
And I said, "[Am]Sing with me, oh, s[C]ing with me. S[G]ing all night l[Am]ong.
And hold me close til the m[C]ornin' sun comes s[G]earchin' for the [Am]dawn.[C]"[G][Am]
[Am]I hitched my way back to Ho[G]uston where I k[F]new that I'd find a h[C]ome.
[Am]My mother claimed 'no v[G]ancany' in this n[F]ew house that I'd never k[C]nown.
[Dm]I found myself as[G]tray, all alone, caught [C]up in the [G]midst of m[Am]y pain.
[Dm]In the howling winds of the night, I s[C]wore someone was c[G]alling m[Am]y name.
I[F] turned just to see the li[G]ght on the s[Am]tage...
Chorus:
[Am]I took my last do[G]llar, made some ch[F]ange and I called a fr[C]iend.
[Am]He said, "That's no pr[G]oblem, pal. You know we've l[F]ove to take you [C]in."
[Dm]So he helped me th[G]rough my trial, with some p[C]eace from the [G]Lord[Am] above.
[Dm]Next thing I know I'm [G]on the stage doing ev[C]erything that [G]I've dream[Am]ed of.
N[F]ow it seems that [G]I am the light on the s[Am]tage...
N[F]ow it seems that [G]we are the lights on the [Am]stage.
