C G
A lifeboat answered the call
D G B7 Em
They pitched and they tossed, 'til we thought they were lost
A D
As we watched from the harbour wall
[VERSE 2]

Though the night was pitch black, there was no turning back
C B
For someone was waiting out there
C G Em
And each volunteer had to live with his fear
As they [A]joined in a silent [D]prayer

Angels of mercy, answer our plea

And carry us home, home, home from the sea

[VERSE 3]
As they [G]battled their way past the mouth of the bay
C G
It was blowing like never before
D G B7 Em
As they gallantly fought, every one of them thought
A D
Of loved ones back on the shore
[VERSE 4]
G
Then a flicker of light and they knew they were right
C B
There she was on the crest of a wave
C G Em
She's an old fishing boat, and she's barely afloat
"Please [A] God, there are souls we can [D] save!"

Carry them [G]home, home, [C] home from the [G] sea

And back in the town, in a street that runs down
C G
To the sea and the harbour wall
D G B7 Em
They had gathered in pairs at the foot of the stairs
A D
To wait for the radio call
[VERSE 6]
G
And just before dawn, when all hope was gone
C B
Came a hush and a faraway sound
C G Em
'Twas the cox'n he roared, "All survivors on board!"

The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
[intro]
[C]
On a [C] warm summer's evenin' on a [F] train bound for [C] nowhere,
I [F]met up with the [C] gambler; we were both too tired to [G7] sleep.
So [C] we took turns a starin' out the [F] window at the [C] darkness
'til [F] boredom over [C] took us, and [G7] he began to [C] speak.
He said, [C] "Son, I've made a life out of [F] readin' people's [C] faces,
and [F] knowin' what their [C] cards were by the way they held their [G7] eyes.
And if [C] you don't mind my sayin', I can [F] see you're out of [C] aces.
For a [F] taste of your [C] whiskey I'll [G7] give you some [C] advice."
So I [C] handed him my bottle
and he [F] drank down my last [C] swallow.
Then he [F]bummed a cigarette and [C]asked me for a [G7] light.
And the [C] night got deathly quiet,
and his [F] face lost all ex[C]pression.
Said, "If you're [F] gonna play the [C] game, boy,
ya gotta [G7] learn to play it [C] right.
You got to [C] know when to hold 'em, [F] know when to [C] fold 'em,
[F] know when to [C] walk away and know when to [G7] run.
You never [C] count your money when you're [F] sittin' at the [C] table.
There'll be [F] time enough for [C] countin' [G7] when the dealin's [C] done.
[C] Ev'ry gambler knows that the [F] secret to surv[C]ivin'
is [F] knowin' what to [C]throw away and knowing what to [G7] keep.
'Cause [C] ev'ry hand's a winner and [F] ev'ry hand's a [C] loser,
and the [F] best that you can [C] hope for is to [G7] die in your [C] sleep."
And [C] when he'd finished speakin', he [F] turned back towards the [C] window,
[F] crushed out his [C] cigarette and faded off to [G7] sleep.
And [C] somewhere in the darkness the [F] gambler, he broke [C] even.
But [F] in his final [C] words I found an [G7] ace that I could [C] keep.
You got to [C] know when to hold 'em, [F] know when to [C] fold 'em,

The Rose
Bette Midler
Some say [C] love it is a [G7] river
That [F]drowns the [G] tender [C] reed
Some say [C] love it is a [G7] razor
That [F] leads your [G] soul to [C] bleed
Some say [Em7] love it is a [Am] hunger [Am7]
An [F] endless aching [G7] need
I say [C] love it is a [G7] flower
And [F] you, [G7] its only [C] seed
It's the [C] heart afraid of [G7] breaking
That [F] never [G7] learns to [C] dance
It's the [C] dream afraid of [G7] waking
That [F] never [G7] takes a [C] chance
It's the [Em7] one who won't be [Am] taken [Am7]
Who [F] cannot seem to [G7] give
And the [C] soul afraid of [G7] dying
That [F] never [G7] learns to [C] live
When the [C] night has been too [G7] lonely
And the [F] road has [G7] been too [C] long
And you [C] think that love is [G7] only
For the [F] lucky [G7] and the [C] strong
Just re[Em7]member in the [Am] winter [Am7]
Far be[F]neath the bitter [G7] snow
Lies the [C] seed that with the [G7] sun's love
In the [F] spring [G7] becomes the [C] rose
