verse 1 
Am                 C               G            Am 
In a dozen coastal towns, when the sun is going down 
    C                      Em             Am 
The boats are tied and the fishing is all through 
    Am               C           G             Am 
For another shot-and-beer you'll likely get to hear 
       C               G            Am 
Of the pilot boat they call the CAN DO 


     F         G            C                Am 
Then lift your glass to the seasons as they pass 
       F       G             F 
To the men who sail the seas alone 
F     G              C             Am 
Say a prayer for the women waiting there 
        Am      G               Am 
For the men who never will come home 


verse 2 
  Am                C              G              Am 
A blizzard from the North blew the tanker off her course 
        C               Em              Am 
And the GLOBAL HOPE was grounded on the sand 
           Am             C              G          Am 
There were forty men they said, then the radio went dead 
    C                     G                Am 
And no one knew they were just a mile from land 



         F                G               C             Am 
Well the CAN DO heard the call, and their boat was very small 
     F              G                F 
They wondered how a tanker could get lost 
           F             G           C                Am 
And like a single silent voice, they knew they had no choice 
        Am             G           Am 
But to find the GLOBAL HOPE at any cost 


verse 3 
         Am             C             G                     Am 
Well the snow made them blind and the seas could read their mind 
        C               Em              Am 
And the wind laughed at every turn they made 
       Am              C        G                  Am 
'Til a big one hit the side and flipped her like a dime 
       C                G             Am 
And it drove her like a nail into the wave 


     F         G            C                Am 
Then lift your glass to the seasons as they pass 
       F       G             F 
To the men who sail the seas alone 
F     G              C             Am 
Say a prayer for the women waiting there 
        Am      G               Am 
For the men who never will come home 


verse 4 
          Am             C            G            Am 
There's a little boy who plays by the harbor every day 
        C             Em             Am 
And his mother cannot hide her tears for long 
        Am               C           G                 Am 
For she knows salt water runs in the blood of sailors' sons 
    C                    G              Am 
And she knows there's no ending to this song 

 
     F         G            C                Am 
Then lift your glass to the seasons as they pass 
       F       G             F 
To the men who sail the seas alone 
F     G              C             Am 
Say a prayer for the women waiting there 
        Am      G               Am 
For the men who never will come home 


Coda 
            F                   G                C             Am 
For they're cruising where it's warm and they'll never see the storm 
         Am     G               Am 
And they never, never will come home
