Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
A E
It will stand the raging storm
A D A
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
E A
It will bear my spirit home
A D A
Come brothers, sisters, don't fall asleep
E
Pray night and day, or you'll sleep in the deep
A D A
Fathers and mothers are praying so loud
E A
Lord, won't you take us in your lifeboat
A D A
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
A E
It will stand the raging storm
A D A
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
E A
It will bear my spirit home
SOLO
A D A
The clouds are so heavy, the winds is so loud
A E
The thunder is roaring, beckoning the crowd
A D A
They pray to their shipmates for what they have done
A E A
They took the dying sailor in their lifeboat
A D A
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
A E
It will stand the raging storm
A D A
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
E A
It will bear my spirit home
SOLO
A D A
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
A E
It will stand the raging storm
A D A
Take me in your lifeboat, take me in your lifeboat
E D A
It will bear my spirit home
