B7     E


Verse 1:
E
Well he watched the bloody sunrise on the Gulf of Mexico
        B7                                 E
When he tied his chopper down before the winds began to blow
        A                                  E
Then he thought as he was staring at the dark and stormy sea
       B7                             E
Of the stranded crew on tower forty-three

Chorus:
         A
Well the hurricane was moving in at hundred miles an hour
        E
And the best his ship would do was eighty-five
       A
But he swore if he ad speed enough to beat it to the tower
         B7                                E      B7     E
He would do his best to bring them back alive


Verse 2:
E
So he flew out to the tower, and the winds were getting bad
           B7                                 E
Though his ship was underpowered, he pulled everything he had
     A                                E
And ahead a darken wall of rain was all that he could see
B7                               E
Attempt to land on tower forty-three


Chorus:
         A
Well the hurricane was moving in at hundred miles an hour
        E
And the best his ship would do was eighty-five
       A
But he swore if he ad speed enough to beat it to the tower
         B7                                E      C#
He would do his best to bring them back alive


Verse 3:
        F#
When he got there it was that he could do to set her down
       C#7                                F#
But he loaded all the men and flew them back to solid ground
        B
And the last they ever saw him
       F#
He was headin' out from shore
       C#7                           E
To the stranded men on tower forty-four


Out-Chorus:
         B
Well the hurricane was moving in at hundred miles an hour
        F#
And the best his ship would do was eighty-five
         B
And they knew he never had a chance to beat it to the tower
       C#7                                     F#
But he did his best best to bring them back alive
        C#7                                     F#
Yes, he did his best best to bring them back alive
