Lyrics
(C7)From (F)north and south and east and west,
the Coast Guard's in the fight.
(C7)Destroying subs and (F)landing troops, the (G7)Axis feels our (C7)might.
For (F)we're the first invaders on evr'y fighting field.
(C7)Afloat, ashore, on (F)men and spars you'll find the (C7)Coast Guard (F)shield.
We're always ready for the call,
we (Bb)place our trust in (F)thee.
Through (C7)surf and storm and (F)(A7)howling (Dm)gale,
high (C)shall our (G7)purpose (C)be.
(F)"Semper paratus" is our guide, our (Bb)fame,
our glory (F)too.
To (C7)fight to save or (F)fight and (Dm)die!
Aye! (F)Coast Guard, we (G7)are (C7)for (F)you!
(F)We're always ready for the call,
we (Bb)place our trust in (F)thee.
Through (C7)howling gale and (F)shot (A7)and (Dm)shell,
to (C)win our (G7)(C)victory.
(F)"Semper paratus" is our guide, our (Bb)pledge,
our motto (F)too.
We're (C7)"always ready," (F)do or (Dm)die!
Aye! (F)Coast Guard, we (G7)fight (C7)for (F)you!
(F)you!
