[Verse 1]
A                    E
You will wait in the widows peak
                        D
And while you watch the ships come in
                E
I will take the early train
                    A
And I will take the back streets
        E
Down to New Orleans
           A
Before the avenues are swallowed
       E
By the morning heat
                       D
And you will watch the ships come in
                    E
And I will take the early train
                   A
And I will make it home
 
 
[Chorus]
A
We're stronger where
                           E
The strain had broken us
             F#m            D
And there is fight in us, I know
             A
That it will take more than
                             E
A heavy rain to silence us
                F#m            D
When there's so much for us, I know
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                         E
And you will wait at your post until
              A
You've been relieved and warn us all
            E
If seas are dangerous
A                         E
But you should rest for a little while
                     D
And I will watch the ships come in
               E                        A
I'll alert the citizens, I'll sound the alarm
 
 
[Chorus]
A
We're stronger where
                           E
The strain had broken us
             F#m            D
And there is fight in us, I know
             A
That it will take more than
                             E
A heavy rain to silence us
                F#m            D
When there's so much for us, I know

They've tethered the ships in the har  -  bor
F#m                          D
They've anchored the rest at sea
 
 
[Chorus]
A
We're stronger than
                                 E
Before the strain had broken us
             F#m            D
And there is fight in us, I know
 
A
Stronger than
                                  E
Before the strain had broken us
             F#m            D
And there is fight in us, I know
 
             A
That it will take more than
                            E
A heavy rain to silence us
                F#m            D
When there's so much for us, I know
