 Red____flags____are flying from the Coast Guard mast 
G5                G5     A5     D5                        D5

 Man____gets_____lonesome, all those years at sea

G5                G5     A5       D5                   D5
 The morning was gr____ay, but I had the motivation

 I drifted aw____ay and ran into more 
       B5
 heavy weather off shore

 We've got a low pressure system and a northeast breeze 
             A5                             Bb5
 We've got a falling barometer and rising seas 
               A5                            Bb5
 We've got the cumulonimbus and a possible gale

G5                G5     A5       D5                     D5
 She asked me to st____ay, but I'd done my navigation 
G5            G5     A5       F#5      
 I drove her aw____ay, but I should have known 
         B5
 To stay tied up at home
