On a cold winter's night, with a storm at its height,
[F] The _ lightbulb answered [C] the call. _ _
[G] They pitched and [C] they tossed, [E] till we thought they [Am] lost,
[D] As we watched from the _ [G] harbour wall. _ _
[C] Though the night was pitch black, there was no turning back,
[F] For someone was taking [E] all their, _ _ _
[F] But each _ volunteer [G] had to live with [Am] his fear,
[D] As they joined in a silent [G] _ prayer.

_ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _
Carry [C] us _ home, _ [F] home, home from [C] the sea,
[F] _ Angels [Em] of mercy, [Dm] _ answer [G] our plea. _ _ _ _ _
And carry [Bm] [C] us home, home, _ [F] home from [C] the sea,
_ [Fm] _
Carry [C] us safely [D] _
home [G] _ from [C] the _ [F] sea.

_ _ _ As they battled their way, past the mouth of the bay,
[F] It was flowing like never _ [C] before.
_ _ _ [G] As they gallantly [C] fought, [E] every one of [Am] them,
_ [D] Of loved [A] ones back on [G] the shore.
_ _ _ [C] Then a flicker of light, and they knew they were right,
[F] There she was, on the crest [E] of 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,
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
[D] And carry [C] them home, _ _ [F] home, home from [C] the sea,
[F] _
Angels [Em] of mercy, _ [Dm] _
answer [G] our plea. _ _ _
_ _ _ And carry [A] [C] us home, _ [Em] _
[F] home, home from [C] the sea,
_ [F] _ Carry [E] us safely _ [Dm] _ home [G] _
from [C] the sea.

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ back in the town, in a street that runs down to [F] the sea,
And the harbor [C] wall, _ _ they [G] had gathered [C] in pairs,
[E] At the foot of [Am] the stairs, [D] to wait for the radio [G] call.
_ And _ [C] just before dawn, when all hope was gone, _
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 _ [F] bound, _
_ [Em] _ to [G] carry [C] them home,
Home, _ [F] home, home from [C] the sea, _ [F] _ angels [C] of mercy, _ [Dm] answer [G] our _ plea. _ _ _ _
And carry [C] them home, _ home, [F] 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.
