Intro: Em  C     Em  C   

    G 
The Visitor from Whitby Town 

Was wrecked at Robin Hood's Bay 

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


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

Did brave the raging seas 



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

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


      G 
Those brave young men battling the seas 

Were knocked back by raging gale 

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


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

Down to Robin Hood's Bay 



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

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


     G 
From Whitby and from Robin Hood's Bay 

The men came mountain roads 

Shovelling through the snowdrifts as 
                       D 
They toiled across the moors 


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

But this time wasn't to be 


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

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


G 
Back to the shore, a fresh cool wind 

They launched back out to sea 

With John Scouten guiding them 
                             D 
Through rocks and through debris 


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

To all that they have done
