[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Remember December [G]fifty—n[Am]ine
The howling wind and the driving [Em]rain
Re[Am]member the gallant men who drowned
On the [Dm]lifeboat, Mona [Em]was her [Am]name
The wind did blow and the [G]sea [Em]rose [Am]up
Beat the land with mighty [Em]waves
At Saint [Am]Andrew's Bay, the light ship
Fought the [Dm]sea until her
[Em]moorings [Am]gave
Remember [G]December
[Am]fifty—nine
The howling winds and driving [Em]rain
Re[Am]member the gallant men who drowned
On the [Dm]lifeboat,
Mona [Em]was her n[Am]ame
The captain signaled [G]to the shore
[Am]"We must have help or
we'll [Em]go down"
From [Am]Broughty Ferry at 2 A.M
They [Dm]sent the lifeboat [Em]Mona[Am]
Remember [G]December
[Am]fifty—nine
The howling winds and the driving [Em]rain
[Am]Re member the gallant men who drowned
On the [Dm]lifeboat, Mona [Em]was her [Am]name
Eight men formed that [G]gallant crew
[Am]They set their boat against the [Em]main
The [Am]wind's so hard and
the sea's so rough
We'll [Dm]never see land or
[Em]home [Am]again
Remember [G]December
[Am]fifty—nine
The howling winds and the driving [Em]rain
[Am]Re member the gallant
men who drowned
On the [Dm]lifeboat, Mona [Em]was her [Am]name
Three hours went by [Em]and the [G]Mona called
[Am]The wind blows hard and the sea runs high[Em]
In the [Am]morning on Carnusty Beach
The [Dm]Mona and her [Em]crew did [Am]lie
Remember [G]December
[Am]fifty—nine
The howling wind and driving [Em]rain
Re[Am]member the gallant men who drowned
On the [Dm]lifeboat, Mona [Em]was her [Am]name
Five lay drowned in the [G]Chalon [Em]there[Am]
Two were washed up on [Em]the shore
[Am]Eight men died when the boat capsized
And the [Dm]eighth is lost [Em]forever [Am]more
Remember [G]December
[Am]fifty—nine
The howling winds and driving [Em]rain
Re[Am]member the gallant
men who drowned
On the [Dm]lifeboat,
Mona [Em]was her n[Am]ame
Remember [G]December
[Am]fifty—nine
The howling wind and the driv[Em]ing rain
The [Am]men who leave the land behind
And the [Dm]men who never
see [Em]land [Am]again
Remember December [Em]fifty—n[Am]ine
The howling wind and the [Em]driving rain
The [Am]men who leave the land behind
And the [Dm]men who never see
[Em]land [Am]again
[Em][Am][Am]
