G The moon hung high? in the Em canopy of sky
        C Home Caroline Home  G 
G The coastline neared? and the Em deckhands cheered
        C Home Caroline Home  G 
G The mast stood tall? like the Em best of us all
C Home Caroline Home  G 
G I thought of the clear light?on your Em hands and on the wood
        C In a church? in Saskatchewan
 
G A
 
G On the shore appeared men? like a Em welcoming parade
        CBanners, flags, and arsenal  G
G But they were not what they Em appeared to be? as their white flags fell
        C Banners, flags, and arsenal  G
G I looked up at the moon? and at the Em water down below
        C Home Caroline Home  G
G I tried to remember things? that the Em pastor used to say
        C In a church? in Saskatchewan

G I lay on the deck? as the Em cannon balls soared by overhead
        C Home Caroline Home  G
G The hull gave in? water came Em rushing in across the deck
C Home Caroline Home  G
G I thought of the farm? and the Em work to be done
        C Home Caroline Home  G 
G I thought of the clean light? and the Em places that we'd hide
        C In a church? in Saskatchewan
