(F#7)So (B)try and stem the tide,

(B)then you’ll raise a ban ner,

send a (F#sus4)flare up in (F#)the sky,

(F#sus4)try to burn (F#)a torch and (Bsus2)try to build a bon fire.

Ev ’ry (G#m7)sig nal that (C#m7)you send un (F#sus4)til the (F#)ve ry (F#)end I’m (Bsus2)there.

So (C#m7)whis tle down the wind for (F#sus4)I have al ways been right (D)there.
