The Willows - The Visitor


INTRO: E minorEm C majorC   E minorEm C majorC

  G+G
The Visitor from Whitby Town

Was wrecked at Robin Hood's Bay

Their crew with a longboat, spied offshore
            D MajorD
At the breaking of the day

   G+G
Like Robin Hood, we no lifeboat had
          D MajorD
No answer to their pleas
    G+G
So the lifeboat men from Whitby Town

Did brave the raging seas


CHORUS:
N.C.    C majorC              E minorEm  D MajorD
Two hundred men, eight miles through the snow
    C majorC
Taking nothing was there for granted
   G+G        C majorC
Using hope to their advantage
    D MajorD
As they hauled
        C majorC
So when you're face to face with a desperate plight

Think about Henry Freeman's night
                    G+G       C majorC
Could have written them off, could have stopped their flight
N.C.         E minorEm  C majorC  E minorEm C majorC
But they never sought dawn


   G+G
Those brave young men battling the seas

Were knocked back by raging gale

They had no chance of landing her
          D MajorD
No point in setting sail

    G+G
So they hauled their lifeboat onto the shore
         D MajorD
Wet from all the spray
     G+G
And they pulled that boat down to Scarborough Bow

Down to Robin Hood's Bay


CHORUS:
N.C.    C majorC              E minorEm  D MajorD
Two hundred men, eight miles through the snow
    C majorC
Taking nothing was there for granted
   G+G        C majorC
Using hope to their advantage
    D MajorD
As they hauled
        C majorC
So when you're face to face with a desperate plight

Think about Henry Freeman's night
                    G+G       C majorC
Could have written them off, could have stopped their flight
N.C.         E minorEm  C majorC  E minorEm C majorC
But they never sought dawn


   G+G
From Whitby and from Robin Hood's Bay

The men came mountain roads

Shovelling through the snowdrifts as
            D MajorD
They toiled across the moors


   G+G
They lowered her down the steepest cliffs
        D MajorD
Into the raging seas
    G+G
And the brave men onboard battled through the surf

But this time wasn't to be


CHORUS:
N.C.    C majorC              E minorEm  D MajorD
Two hundred men, eight miles through the snow
    C majorC
Taking nothing was there for granted
   G+G        C majorC
Using hope to their advantage
    D MajorD
As they hauled
        C majorC
So when you're face to face with a desperate plight

Think about Henry Freeman's night
                    G+G       C majorC
Could have written them off, could have stopped their flight
N.C.         E minorEm  C majorC  E minorEm C majorC
But they never sought dawn


G+G
Back to the shore, a fresh cool wind

They launched back out to sea

With John Scouten guiding them
               D MajorD
Through rocks and through debris


  G+G
The Visitor's crew were saved
           D MajorD
The peoples worked as one
   G+G
So I drink to them and the families

To all that they have done


CHORUS:
N.C.    C majorC              E minorEm  D MajorD
Two hundred men, eight miles through the snow
    C majorC
Taking nothing was there for granted
   G+G        C majorC
Using hope to their advantage
    D MajorD
As they hauled
        C majorC
So when you're face to face with a desperate plight

Think about Henry Freeman's night
                    G+G       C majorC
Could have written them off, could have stopped their flight
N.C.         E minorEm  C majorC  E minorEm C majorC
But they never sought dawn
           E minorEm  C majorC  E minorEm C majorC
But they never sought dawn
