The Willows - The Visitor
INTRO: Em C Em C
G
The Visitor from Whitby Town
Was wrecked at Robin Hood's Bay
Their crew with a longboat, spied offshore
D
At the breaking of the day
G
Like Robin Hood, we no lifeboat had
D
No answer to their pleas
G
So the lifeboat men from Whitby Town
Did brave the raging seas
CHORUS:
N.C. C Em D
Two hundred men, eight miles through the snow
C
Taking nothing was there for granted
G C
Using hope to their advantage
D
As they hauled
C
So when you're face to face with a desperate plight
Think about Henry Freeman's night
G C
Could have written them off, could have stopped their flight
N.C. Em C Em C
But they never sought dawn
G
Those brave young men battling the seas
Were knocked back by raging gale
They had no chance of landing her
D
No point in setting sail
G
So they hauled their lifeboat onto the shore
D
Wet from all the spray
G
And they pulled that boat down to Scarborough Bow
Down to Robin Hood's Bay
CHORUS:
N.C. C Em D
Two hundred men, eight miles through the snow
C
Taking nothing was there for granted
G C
Using hope to their advantage
D
As they hauled
C
So when you're face to face with a desperate plight
Think about Henry Freeman's night
G C
Could have written them off, could have stopped their flight
N.C. Em C Em C
But they never sought dawn
G
From Whitby and from Robin Hood's Bay
The men came mountain roads
Shovelling through the snowdrifts as
D
They toiled across the moors
G
They lowered her down the steepest cliffs
D
Into the raging seas
G
And the brave men onboard battled through the surf
But this time wasn't to be
CHORUS:

Think about Henry Freeman's night
G C
Could have written them off, could have stopped their flight
N.C. Em C Em C
But they never sought dawn
G
Back to the shore, a fresh cool wind
They launched back out to sea
With John Scouten guiding them
D
Through rocks and through debris
G
The Visitor's crew were saved
D
The peoples worked as one
G
So I drink to them and the families
To all that they have done
