Intro:

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
