    E------------------------------------------------------------
    Get me through this Lord and I’ll do anything you say

    Live right, read the good book, I’ll settle down and pray
  •  
    E------------------------------------------------------------
    When Gabriel blows his horn I know things might not go my way
  •  
    B-------------------A------------------------------E---------
    Get me through this Lord and I’ll do anything you say
  •  
    Verse2:
    Pluck me from this driftwood Lord I’ll be a better man
  • Raise me from the deep sea in the palm of your great hand
    Let me see tomorrow (the moral?) and I’ll try to understand
    How the sinking of my little vessel fits into your plan

    Chorus1:
    A----------------------E--------------------------------
  • Here’s to the Halcyon, forever may she rest

    Verse3:
  • Get me through this Lord and I’ll devote my life to you
    Things look pretty bleak right now but I know you’ll come through
    I’ve squandered my good fortune and my other fortune too

    I cannot change my past mistakes
     
  • -----------B-----------------E-----------
    I’ve led a life devoid of virtue

  • A-------------------E--------------------
    Can come around and hurt you

    Get me through this lord and I will never drink again

    Give me some fresh water Lord I’ll never drink again

    Good Lord what do you propose to do with me?
