Verse 1
G 
C 
Well,  (G major)  (C major) he watched the bloody sunrise
on the Gulf of Mexico
G 
When he  (G major) tied his chopper down
C 
before the winds  (C major) began to blow
F 
Then he  (F major) thought as he was staring
C 
at the  (C major) dark and stormy sea
G 
C 
Of the  (G major) stranded crew on Tower 43  (C major) 
F 
Well, the  (F major) hurricane was movin'
in a hundred miles an hour
C 
And the be (C major) st his ship could do was 85
F 
But he  (F major) swore if he asked me enough
to lead him to the tower
G 
He would do  (G major) his best
C 
G 
C 
to bring him back to  (C major) life  (G major)  (C major) 
G 
C 
So he  (G major) flew  (C major) out to the tower
and the winds were getting bad
G 
Though  (G major) his ship was underpowered,
C 
he pulled  (C major) everything he had
F 
And ahead  (F major) a darkened wall of rain
C 
was  (C major) all that he could see
G 
C 
He  (G major) turned the light on Tower 43  (C major) 
F 
Well,  (F major) the hurricane was movin' in
at 100 miles an hour
C 
And the be (C major) st his ship would do was 85
F 
But he swore  (F major) if he had speed enough
to beat it to the tower
G 
He would do  (G major) his best
C 
A 
to bring them back alive  (C major)  (A major) 
D 
When he  (D major) got there
it was all that he could do to set her down
A 
But he loaded  (A major) all the men
D 
and flew them back  (D major) to solid ground
G 
And they last  (G major) they ever saw him,
D 
he was heading  (D major) out from shore
A 
D 
To the  (A major) stranded men on Tower 44  (D major) 
G 
Well, the  (G major) hurricane was moving
in a hundred miles an hour
D 
And the be (D major) st his ship would do
was fade in fire
G 
And they knew  (G major) he never had a chance
to feed it to the tower
A 
But he  (A major) did his best
D 
to bring them back alive  (D major) 
A 
Yes, he did  (A major) his best
to bring them back alive
D 
 (D major)
