INTRO:

C
On a cold winter's night, with the storm at its height
  F                     C 
A lifeboat answered the call 
     G                C               E7                Am 
They pitched and they tossed, 'til we thought they were lost 
      D                        G 
As we watched from the harbour wall  
           C 
Though the night was pitch black, there was no turning back 
    F                       E7
For someone was waiting out there 
    F                     C             Am
And each volunteer had to live with his fear
As [D]they joined in a silent [G] prayer [F] [G]

[Chorus]
     C           F             C 
Carry us home, home, home from the sea 
F         C      Dm         G 
Angels of mercy, answer our plea   
             C           F             C 
And carry us home, home, home from the sea 
F        C       Dm  G         C   
Carry us safely, home from the sea  
        
        C
As they battled their way past the mouth of the bay
       F                    C 
It was blowing like never before 
        G         C             E7          Am 
As they gallantly fought, every one of them thought 
   D                      G 
Of loved ones back on the shore  
       C 
Then a flicker of light and they knew they were right 
          F                     E7 
There she was on the crest of a wave 
         F                           C       Am 
She's an old fishing boat, and she's barely afloat 
Please [D] God, there are souls we can [G] save [F] [G]

[Chorus]
       C           F            C 
And carry them home, home, home from the sea 
F         C      Dm         G 
Angels of mercy, answer our plea   
             C           F             C 
And carry us home, home, home from the sea 
F        C       Dm  G         C  
Carry us safely, home from the sea

C
And back in the town, in a street that runs down
       F                   C 
To the sea and the harbour wall 
         G           C            E7          Am 
They had gathered in pairs at the foot of the stairs 
   D                  G 
To wait for the radio call   
    C 
And just before dawn, when all hope was gone 
       F                  E7 
Came a hush and a faraway sound 
          F                        C         Am 
'Twas the cox'n he roared, "All survivors on board!" 
Thank [D] God and we're homeward [G] bound [F] [G]

[Chorus]
       C           F             C 
To carry them home, home, home from the sea 
F         C      Dm         G 
Angels of mercy, answer our plea   
               C           F             C 
And carry them home, home, home from the sea 
F          C       Dm  G         C   
Carry them safely, home from the sea

Angels of mercy, answer our plea
