[Intro]
C F C G7 C
[Verse 1]
Oh Clisten today to the Fstory I'll Ctell,
Tis Csaddened with tear dimmed G7eyes,
Of a Cdreadful cyclone that Fcame this Cway,
And Cblew our G7schoolhouse aCway.
[Chorus]
Rye FCove, Rye CCove,
The Cplace of my childhood and GhomG7e,
Where in Clife's early morn I Fonce loved to Croam,
But Cnow it's so Gsilent and Clone. G7 C
[Verse 2]
When the Cgreat storm appeared it Fdarkened the Cair,
And the Clightning flashed over the G7sky,
Then the Cchildren all cried, don't Ftake us aCway,
But sCpare us to G7go back Chome.
[Chorus]
Rye FCove, Rye CCove ,
The Cplace of my childhood and GhomG7e,
Where in Clife's early morn I Fonce loved to Croam,
But Cnow it's so Gsilent and Clone.
[Instrumental]

C G7 C
[Verse 3]
For the Cmothers so sad and Ffathers the Csame,
They Ccame to this horrible G7scene,
Then Csearching and crying each Ffound their own Cchild,
CDying on a G7pillow of Cstone.
[Verse 4]
Lord Cgive us a home far beFyond the blue Cskies,
Where sCtorms and cyclones are unG7known,
And Cthere will we stand and Fgladly clasp Chands
With our Cchildren in the G7heavenly Chome.
[Chorus]
Rye FCove, Rye CCove ,
The Cplace of my childhood and GhomG7e,
Where in Clife's early morn I Fonce loved to Croam,
But Cnow it's so Gsilent and Clone.
