Rye Cove

C F C G7 C


[Verse 1]
   C                   F          
Oh listen today to the story I'll 
C
tell,
    C                         G7
Tis saddened with tear dimmed eyes,
     C                     F      
Of a dreadful cyclone that came 
   C
this way,
    C        G7           C
And blew our schoolhouse away.

[Chorus]
    F         C
Rye Cove, Rye Cove,
    C                         G  G7
The place of my childhood and home,
         C                   F    
Where in life's early morn I once 
         C
loved to roam,
    C           G          C     
But now it's so silent and lone.
G7   C



[Verse 2]
         C                      
When the great storm appeared it 
 F            C
darkened the air,
        C                          
And the lightning flashed over the 
G7
sky,

         C                         
Then the children all cried, don't 
F        C
take us away,
     C          G7      C
But spare us to go back home.


[Chorus]
    F         C
Rye Cove, Rye Cove ,
    C                         G  G7
The place of my childhood and home,
         C                   F    
Where in life's early morn I once 
         C
loved to roam,
    C           G          C
But now it's so silent and lone.

[Verse 3]
        C                  F      
For the mothers so sad and fathers
     C
 the same,
     C                     G7
They came to this horrible scene,
     C                         F  
Then searching and crying each 
             C
found their own child,
C          G7        C
Dying on a pillow of stone.


[Verse 4]
     C                    F       
Lord give us a home far beyond the
      C
 blue skies,
       C                     
Where storms and cyclones are 
   G7
unknown,
    C                       F     
And there will we stand and gladly
       C
 clasp hands
         C               G7       
With our children in the heavenly 
C
home.

The place of my childhood and home,
         C                   F    
Where in life's early morn I once

loved to roam,
    C           G          C
But now it's so silent and lone.
