lyrics

[G]Take me in your life[G7]boat, [C]take me in your life[G]boat
[G]It will [Em]stand the raging [D7]storm.
[G]Take me in your life[G7]boat, [C]take me in your life[G]boat
It will [Em]bear my spirit [D7]home[G]ward.

[G]Come brothers, [Em]sisters, [C]don't fall a[G]sleep
Pray night and [Em]day, or you'll [A7]sleep in the [D7]deep.
[G]Fathers and [Em]mothers are [C]praying so [G]loud
Lord, won't you [Em]take me in your [D7]life[G]boat


[G]The clouds are so [Em]heavy, the [C]winds are so [G]loud
[G]The thunder is [Em]rolling, [A7]bursting in the [D7]clouds.
[G]They pray to their [Em]shipmates for [C]what the boys have [G]done
[G]They took the dying [Em]sailor in their [D7]life[G]boat.

SaltyPaws is a sailing acoustic duo, living aboard their catamaran, sailing and singing the Atlantic eastern seaboard. You'll hear guitar and 5 string banjo, spiced with harmonica and concertina. Wherever the boat is in port, you'll find Bentley and Jim joining a jam, at an open mic, or busking a street corner. ... more
