Liam Clancy - Home From The Sea [INTRO] C F C G C [VERSE 1] On a cold winter's night, with the storm at its height

A ^Flifeboat answered the ^Ccall They ^Gpitched and they ^Ctossed, 'til we ^E7thought they were ^Amlost As we ^Dwatched from the harbour ^Gwall

[VERSE 2]

Though the ^Cnight was pitch black, there was no turning back For ^Fsomeone was waiting out ^Ethere And ^Feach volunteer had to ^Clive with his ^Amfear As they ^Djoined in a silent ^Gprayer^G/F ^G/E

[CHORUS]

^G/DCarry us ^Chome, home, ^Fhome from the ^Csea ^FAngels of ^Cmercy, ^Dmanswer our ^Gplea And carry us ^Chome, home, ^Fhome from the ^Csea ^FCarry us ^Csafely, ^Dmhome^G from the ^Csea ^F ^C ^G ^C

[VERSE 3] As they battled their way past the mouth of the bay

It was ^Fblowing like never be^Cfore As they ^Ggallantly ^Cfought, every ^E7one of them ^Amthought Of ^Dloved ones back on the ^Gshore

[VERSE 4]

Then a ^Cflicker of light and they knew they were right There she ^Fwas on the crest of a ^Ewave She's an ^Fold fishing boat, and she's ^Cbarely a^Amfloat "Please ^DGod, there are souls we can ^Gsave!"^G/F ^G/E

[CHORUS]

And ^G/Dcarry them ^Chome, home, ^Fhome from the ^Csea ^FAngels of ^Cmercy, ^Dmanswer our ^Gplea And carry us ^Chome, home, ^Fhome from the ^Csea ^FCarry us ^Csafely, ^Dmhome^G from the ^Csea ^F ^C ^G ^C ^F ^C ^G ^C

[VERSE 5] And back in the town, in a street that runs down

To the ^Fsea and the harbour ^Cwall They had ^Ggathered in ^Cpairs at the ^E7foot of the ^Amstairs To ^Dwait for the radio ^Gcall

[VERSE 6]

And ^Cjust before dawn, when all hope was gone Came a ^Fhush and a faraway ^Esound 'Twas the ^Fcox'n he roared, "All sur^Cvivors on ^Amboard!" Thank ^DGod and we're homeward ^Gbound ^G/F ^G/E

[CHORUS]

To ^G/Dcarry them ^Chome, home, ^Fhome from the ^Csea ^FAngels of ^Cmercy, ^Dmanswer our ^Gplea And carry them ^Chome, home, ^Fhome from the ^Csea ^FCarry them ^Csafely, ^Dmhome^G from the ^Csea ^G

(**Key Change - Up 2 Semitones**) [CHORUS]

^DHome, home, ^Ghome from the ^Dsea ^GAngels of ^Dmercy, ^Emanswer our ^Aplea And carry them ^Dhome, home, ^Ghome from the ^Dsea ^GCarry them ^Dsafely ^Emhome^A from the ^Dsea
