On a cold winter's night, with a storm at its height,
[F] The lifeboat answered the [C] call.
[G]
They pitched and they [C] tossed, till [E] we thought they were [Am] lost,
As [D] we watched from the harbour [G] wall.
[C]
Though the night was pitch black, there was no turning back,
[F] For someone was waiting [E] out there,
[F] And each volunteer had [G] to deal with [C] his fear,
As [D] we joined in a silent [G] prayer.
[F]
[E] [G] O carry [C] us home, home, [F] home from [C] the sea,
[F] Angels [D] of mercy, [Dm] answer [G] our plea.
[Dm]
[G] And carry [C] us home, [F] home, home from [C] the sea,
[F]
Carry [C] us safely [Dm]
[G] home from [C] the sea.
[F] [C]
[G] [C]
[G] [C] As they battled their way, across the mouth of the bay,
It [F] was blowing like never [C] before.
As [G] they gallantly [C] fought, [E] every one of them [Am] thought,
Of [D] their loved ones back on [G] the shore.
[C] Then a glimmer of light, and they knew they were right,
There she [F] was, on the crest of [E] a wave.
[F] She's an old fishing boat, [C] she's barely [Am] afloat,
[D] Please God, there are souls we [G] can save.
[Em]
And [G] we'll carry [C] them home, home, home from the sea,
Angels of mercy, [Dm]
answer [G] our plea.
[D] [Em] And carry [C] us home, [F] home, home [C] from the sea,
[F] Carry [C] us safely [Dm] [G] home from [C] the sea.
[F]
[C] [G]
[C]
[G]
And back in the town, on a street that runs down to [F] the sea,
And the harbour [C] wall, [G] they gathered [C] in pairs,
[E] At the foot of [Am] the stairs, [D] to wait for the [G] radio call.
[C] And just before dawn, when all hope was gone,
[F] Came a hush, and a far [E] away sound.
[F] Was the coxswain he roared, [C] all survivors [Am] on board,
[D] Thank God, and we're [G] homeward bound.
[Em] And [G] we'll carry [C] them home, [F] home, home from [C] the sea,
[F] Angels [C] of mercy, [D] answer [G] our plea.
And carry [C] us home, home, [F] home from [C] the sea,
[F]
Carry [C] us safely [Dm]
[G] home from [C] the sea.
[A] [D]
Home, home, home from the sea,
[G]
Angels [D] of mercy, [Em]
answer [E] our [A] plea.
And [D] carry us home, home, [G] home from [D] the sea,
[G] Carry [D] us [Em] safely home [A]
[D] from the sea.
Ladies and gentlemen, [G] the volunteer crews from [D] Kayster and Cromer in [A] Norfolk.

Thank you.
