[INTRO:] Em [VERSE 1:] Now, have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock
                                B7
Or the ship Marie Christine and all her gallant lot 

     Em                                 D               Em
Now, have you seen the lighthouse, "Oh, we are close to land"

                              D               Em    B7  Em
Cried the brave young captain to his wretched band
[VERSE 2:] Now, have you seen the harbour, cried Marie Christine
                                       B7
Have you seen the jagged rocks and the waters in between 

     Em                                D              Em
Now, have you seen the lighthouse, oh, save me if you can 

                                   D           Em    B7  Em
For if you do, I promise you, I'll never sail again
[VERSE 3:] Now, have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock
                              B7
Cried the brave young captain to his wretched lot 

     Em                              D                 Em
Now, gather all your photographs and don your coats of blue 

                             D                  Em    B7  Em
If anyone can save us now, Marie Christine 'tis you
[VERSE 4:] When I first saw Marie Christine, the woman that she was
                                       B7
I signed aboard to man her sails, with honour held her course 

  Em                                      D                Em
I christened her with old champagne and I drove her to the west 

                                     D                  Em    B7  Em
Of all the men who sailed on her, in truth I sailed her best
[VERSE 5:] Now, have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock
                                B7
Or the ship Marie Christine and all her gallant lot 

     Em                                 D               Em
Now, have you seen the lighthouse, "Oh, we are close to land"

                              D               Em    B7  Em
Cried the brave young captain to his wretched band
[VERSE 6:] Come all ye would be sailors All ye would be sailors, ohh
                        D  Em
All ye would be sailors 

                             D                  Em
If anyone can save us now, Marie Christine 'tis you 

                             D                  Em
If anyone can save us now, Marie Christine 'tis you
