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
