Seth plays this live (and solo) on a tenor guitar tuned to G-D-G-D with a capo at

        A augmentedA
At fair Mounts Bay on that Christmas week
         A augmentedA
Was such a raging storm no man could speak
       F#m7F#m7
That lifeboat thundered through an angry sea
          A augmentedA
Was called Solomon Browne and her company

A augmentedA
Good courage it was called
A augmentedA
Our heroes brave and bold
A augmentedA
Good courage it was called
 A augmentedA
Upon that night

The stricken coaster called the Union Star
Her maiden voyage she never thought that far
With Captain Moreton and his four man crew
A augmentedA woman to save and her daughters two

Never had a lifeboat fought in vain
She could have made a dash for port but they tried again
All sixteen perished in that mighty wave
It tossed them overboard into a watery grave

Good courage it was called
Our heroes brave and bold
Good courage it was called
Upon that night

Now back at Penlee Point time stood still
Twelve young children cried for their fathers killed
A augmentedA nation shed tears for years as the news went round
The constant courage of our Solomon Browne

Good courage it was called
Our heroes brave and bold
Good courage it was called
Upon that night

Good courage it was called
Our heroes brave and bold
Good courage it was called
