The Storm

INTRO: Em   D Em  (6x)


Now the time had come for Elzevir 
and John
                D         Em
To be sent from Holland's shore

And to end their days in pain and 
misery
                D        Em
To be slaves so far from home


   C        D         Em
Oh oh - how sweet the salt sea air
   C        D          Em
Oh oh - how bright the sun
   C        D      Em
Oh oh - but little did they know
       C          D      Em
Of the storm that was to come
        C         D        Em
And the ship that would go down


C             G           D     
Hey, boys and listen well and a 
      Em
story I will tell
C            G                D
Send for the prisoners down below 
(down below!)
C            G             D    
Hey boys and wish 'em well and 
             Em
the fate that them befell
    C                  D          
And pray that you will never see 
   C
the day

                      D      
You'll fight for your life on 
           Em
Moonfleet Bay!



Well the storm hit hard and the 
waves were high
             D          Em
It was every man for himself

By a twist of Fate, t'was on 
Moonfleet Bay

Where the ship would meet its end


   C           D       Em
Oh oh - with a roar of wind and sail
   C        D        Em
Oh oh - the ship was gone
   C           D           Em
Oh oh - in the night, they saw a 
light
          C      D         Em
T'was the candle Grace had shone
        C       D      Em
And her boy was coming home


C             G             D   
Hey, boys the ship is down, 
           Em
every man must swim or drown
C            G               D
Head for the breakers on the shore 
(on the shore!)
C    G                 D        
Hey, boys for Elzevir, he put 
      Em
John in Fortune's care
    C           D                  
For no man ever was there 'til that 
C
day
               D                Am
Saved from the sea on Moonfleet Bay!



"What shall we do with the boy who's
 drowning?

What shall we do with the boy who's 
drowning?
Am                                
What shall we do with the boy 
            G            Am
who's drowning, early in the 
morning?"



"Throw him a rope and god go with 
him
G
Throw him a rope and god go with him
Am                             
Throw him a rope and god go with 
       G            Am
him, early in the morning?"
