As recorded by Kris Kristofferson (From the 2016 Box Set THE COMPLETE MONUMENT & COLUMBIA ALBUM COLLECTION - DEMOS) [Intro] G7 C [Verse 1]
C
Well he watched the bloody sunrise on the Gulf of Mexico

        G7                               C
When he tied his chopper down before the winds began to blow

        F                                C
Then he thought as he was staring at the dark and stormy sea

       G7                           C
Of the stranded crew on tower forty-three
[Chorus]
         F
Well the hurricane was moving in at hundred miles an hour

        C
And the best his ship would do was eighty-five

       F
But he swore if he ad speed enough to beat it to the tower

         G7                              C    G7   C
He would do his best to bring them back alive
[Verse 2]
C
So he flew out to the tower, and the winds were getting bad

           G7                               C
Though his ship was underpowered, he pulled everything he had

     F                              C
And ahead a darken wall of rain was all that he could see

G7                             C
Attempt to land on tower forty-three
[Chorus]
         F
Well the hurricane was moving in at hundred miles an hour

        C
And the best his ship would do was eighty-five

       F
But he swore if he ad speed enough to beat it to the tower

         G7                              C    A
He would do his best to bring them back alive
[Verse 3]
        D
When he got there it was that he could do to set her down

       A7                               D
But he loaded all the men and flew them back to solid ground

        G
And the last they ever saw him

       D
He was headin' out from shore

       A7                          C
To the stranded men on tower forty-four
[Out-Chorus]
         G
Well the hurricane was moving in at hundred miles an hour

        D
And the best his ship would do was eighty-five

         G
And they knew he never had a chance to beat it to the tower

       A7                                    D
But he did his best best to bring them back alive

        A7                                    D
Yes, he did his best best to bring them back alive
