Gordon Lightfoot - Marie Christine
         Em
[INTRO:] 
[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
