Outro:  Chords are strummed here rather than plucked.

D
Save what you can
           Em                  G
Lower the lifeboats, steer the way
D                   Em                      G
Find surer ground, o'er horizon through the waves
D                         Em                  G
Steer a clear coarse to a new world, to a new day
D
Save what you can
          C                    G
Lower the lifeboats, steer the way
