[Verse 1]
On a cCold winter's night, with a storm at its height
A liFfeboat answered the call C
They pGitched and they tCossed, 'til we tEmhought they were lAmost
As we wDmatched from the hDarbor wGall
[Verse 2]
Though the nCight was pitch black, there was no turning back
For sFomeone was waiting out tE7here
And eFach volunteer had to lCive with his fAmear
As they jDmoined in a sDilent prGayer.G7 G6
[Chorus]
CGarry us hCome, hFome, home from the sCea
AFngels of mCercy, aDmnswer our pGlea G7 G6
And cGarry us hCome, hFome, home from the sCea
CFarry us sCafely hDmome, fG7rom the sCea. F C G
[Verse 3]
As they bCattled their way past the mouth of the bay
It was blFowing like never befCore
As they gGallantly fCought, every Emone of them tAmhought
Of lDmoved ones bDack on the sGhore
[Verse 4]
Then a flCicker of light, and they knew they were right
There she wFas on the crest of a wE7ave
She's an oFld fishing boat, and she's bCarely aflAmoat
Please GDmod, there are sDouls we can saGve! G7 G6
[Chorus]
And cGarry us hCome, hFome, home from the sCea

CFarry us sCafely hDmome, fG7rom the sCea. F C G C F C G
[Verse 5]
And bCack in the town in a street that runs down
To the sFea and the harbor wCall
They had gGathered in pCairs at the fEmoot of the stAmairs
To wDmait for the rDadio cGall
[Verse 6]
And jCust before dawn, when all hope was gone
Came a hFush and a faraway sE7ound
'Twas the cFoxswain he roared, "All surCvivors on bAmoard!"
Thank GDmod, and we're hDomeward bGound. G7 G6
[Chorus]
To cGarry us hCome, hFome, home from the sCea
AnFgels of mCercy, aDmnswer our pGlea G7 G6
And cGarry us hCome, hFome, home from the sCea
CaFrry us sCafely hDmome, fG7rom the sCea.
