On a cold winter's night, _ with a storm at its height,
[F] The lifeboat _ answered [C] the call. _ _
[G] They pitched and they [C] tossed, till [E] we thought they [Am] were lost,
[D] As we watched from the harbour [G] _ walls. _
Though [C] the night was pitch black, there was no turning _ back,
[F] For someone was waiting [E] out _ there. _
[F] But each _ volunteer had [C] to live with [Am] his fear,
[D] As they joined in a silent [G] _ prayer.
[B] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [G] Carry [C] us home, _ home, [F] home from [C] the sea,
_ [F] _ Angels [C] of mercy, _ [Dm] _ answer [G] our plea. _ _ _ _ _
And carry [C] us home, home, _ [F] home from [C] the sea,
_ [Fm] _
Carry [C] us safely [Dm] home _ [G] _ from [C] the sea.

_ _ _ As they battled their way, past the mouth of the bay,
It [F] was blowing like never _ [C] before.
_ _ As [G] they gallantly [C] fought, [Ab] every one [E]
of [Am] them thought,
[D] Of loved [Am] ones back on [G] the shore.
_ _ Then [C] a flicker of light, _ and they knew they were right,
[F] There she was, on the crest of [E] a wave.
_ _ [F] She's an old fishing boat, and [C] she's barely _ [Am] afloat,
[D] Please God, there are souls we [G] can save,
[F] _ _ _ [Em] _
And [G] carry [C] them home, _ _ [F] home, home from [C] the sea,
_ [F] _
Angels [Em] of mercy, _ [Dm] answer [G] our plea. _ _ _
_ _ _ And [B]
carry [C] us home, _ home, [F] home from [C] the sea,
_ [F] _ Carry [E] us safely _ [Dm] _ home [G] _
from [C] the sea.

And back in the town, in a street that runs down to [F] the sea,
On the harbor [C] _ wall, _ they [G] had gathered [C] in pairs,
At [E] the foot of [Am] the stairs, [D] to wait for the radio [G] _ call. _ _
[C] And just before dawn, when all hope was gone, _
[F] Came a hush, and a far away [E] _ sound. _
T'was [F] the coxswain, he roared, all [C] survivors [Am] on board,
[D] Thank God, and we're _ [G] homeward bound, _ _
_ [Em] _ To [G] carry [C] them home, home, _ [F] home from [C] the sea,
_ [F] _ Angels [C] of mercy, _ [Dm] answer [G] our plea. _ _ _ _ _
And carry [C] them home, _ _ [F] home, home from [C] the sea,
_ [F] _
Carry [C] them safely _ [Dm] home _ [G] _ from [C] the sea.
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
Home, _ _ [G] home, home from [D] the sea,
[G] _
Angels [D] of mercy, _ [Em] answer [A] our _ _ plea.
_ _ And _ carry [D] them home, _ home, [G] home from [D] the sea,
[G] _ Carry [D] them safely _ [Em] _ home [A] _
from [D] the sea.
