Home From The Sea
Chorus
G | C | F | C |
Home, | home, | home from the | sea |
| F | C | F | G |
An | gels of mer | cy, an | swer our | plea |
| C | F | C |
And carry us | home, home, | home from the | sea |
| F | C | G | C |
Car | ry us safe | ly ho | me from the | sea. |
G | C |
On a | cold winters night |
With a storm at its height
| F | C |
The life | boat answered the | call. |
| G | C |
They p | itched and they toss | ed |
| Am |
Till we thought they were | lost |
| D7 | G |
As we | watched from the harbor | wall. |
| C |
Though the | night was pitch black, |
There was no turning back,
| F | E7 |
For some | one was waiting out | there, |
| C | Am |
Had to | live with his fe | ar |
| D7 | G |
As they | joined in a silent pra | yer. |
(Repeat Chorus)
As they battled their way
Past the mouth of the bay,
It was blowing like never before.
As they gallantly fought,
Every one of them thought
Of loved ones back on the shore.
Then a flicker of light
And they knew they were right.
Thereshe was on the crest of a wave.
She's an old fishing boat
And she's barely afloat.
Please God, there are souls we can save.
CHORUS
And back in the town
In a street that runs down
To the sea and the harbor wall,
They'd gathered in pairs
At the foot of the stairs
To wait or the radio call.
And just before dawn
When all hope had gone
Came a hush and a faraway sound.
'Twas the coxswain he roared
All survivors on board
Thank God and we're homeward bound.
(Chorus)
