Chris De Burgh - The Storm


INTRO: E minorEm  D MajorD E minorEm (6x)


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

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


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

C majorC       G+G      D MajorD      E minorEm
Hey, boys and listen well and a story I will tell
C majorC      G+G        D MajorD
Send for the prisoners down below (down below!)
C majorC      G+G       D MajorD         E minorEm
Hey boys and wish 'em well and the fate that them befell
  C majorC         D MajorD       C majorC
And pray that you will never see the day
           D MajorD         E minorEm
You'll fight for your life on Moonfleet Bay!


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

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

Where the ship would meet its end


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

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


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


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

  FF      G+G       FF
And Elzevir, he gave his life away
         G+G       FF
But John was the only man that day
G+G           A minorAm
