Introduction:
A A7M
You will wait in the widow's peak
A7M D9
And while you watch the ships come in
D9 E
I will take the early train
A
And I will take the backstreets
A A7M
Down to New Orleans
A
Before the avenues are swallowed
A A7M
By the morning air
A7M D9
And you will watch the ships come in
D9 E
And I will take the early train
A
And I will make it home
(refrão)
E
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
D9 A
And there is fight in us, I know
E
That it will take more than a heavy rain to silence us.
D9
When there's so much for us
A
I know.
A A7M
You will wait at your post until
A A7M
You've been relieved and warn us all if seas are dangerous
A A7M
You should rest for a little while
D9
And I will watch the ships come in
E
And I'll alert the citizens
A
I'll sound the alarm.
