[N] [D]
[G] [D] [A] [D]
[A] [D] On a cold winter's night, with a storm at its height, [G] the lifeboat answered [D] the call.
[A] They pitched the [D] maids' host [F#] till we thought they [Bm] were lost, [E] as we watched from the [A] harbor wall.
[D] Though the night was pitch black, there was no turning back, [G] for someone was waiting [F#] out there.
[G] And each volunteer [D] had to live with [Bm] his fear, [E] as they joined in a [A] silent prayer.
[F#m]
Carry [D] us home, [G] home, home [D] from the sea, [G] angels [D] of mercy, [Em]
answer [D] our [A] plea.
And carry [D] us home, [G] home, home [D] from the sea, [G] carry [D] us safely [Em] [A] home [D] from the [G] sea.
[D] [A]
[D] As they battled their way past the mouth of the bay, [G] it was blowing like never [D] before.
[A] As the [D] gondoliers fought, [F#] every one of [Bm] them thought [E] of loved ones back [A] on the shore.
[D] Then a flicker of light, and they knew they were right, [G] there she was on the crest [F#] of a wave.
[G] She's in no fishing boat, [D] and she's barely [Bm]
afloat, [E] please God, there are souls we [A] can [C#] save.
[F#m] And carry [D] them home, [G] home, home [D] from the sea, [G] angels [D] of mercy, [Em] answer [A] our plea.
And carry [D] us home, home, [G]
home [D] from the sea, [G] carry [D] us safely [Em]
[A] home [D] from the [G] sea.
[D]
[A] [D] And back in the town, on a street that runs down [G] to the sea and the harbor [D]
wall,
[A] they'd gathered [D] in pairs [F#] at the foot [Bm] of the stairs [E] to wait for the radio [A]
call.
[D] And just before dawn, when all hope was gone, [G] came a hush and a [F#] faraway sound.
[G] "'Twas a cock's end," he roared, [D] "'All survivors [Bm] on board!
[E] Thank God, and we're [A] homeward [F#m] bound!'
Carry [D] us home, home, [G] home [D] from the sea, [G]
angels [D] of mercy, [Em] answer [A] our plea.
[F#m] And carry [D] us home, home, [G] home [D] from the sea, [G] carry [D] us safely [Em] [A] home from [D] the [B] sea.
[E] Home, [A] home, home [E] from the sea, [A] angels [E] of mercy, [F#m] answer [B] our plea.
And carry [E] us home, home, [A] home [E] from the sea, [A]
carry [E] us safely [F#m] [B] home [E] from the sea.
