Bones In The Ocean

CAPO 1 
[Verse 1] 
    C                     F            C 
Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land 
      Am                     G 
And I paddle away from Brave England's white sands 
   C                      F         C 
To search for my long-ago forgotten friends 
   Am                          G           C 
To search for the place I hear all sailors end 
 
 
[Chorus 1] 
       F                                      C 
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind 
     Am                           G 
I'll search without sleeping 'til peace I can find 
  F                       C 
I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea 
    Am                      G 
I remember the fallen... do they think of me? 
           F                      G         C 
When their bones in the ocean, forever will be 
 
 
[Verse 2] 
       C                         F            C 
Plot a course to the night, to a place I once knew 
     Am                        G 
To a place where my hope died along with my crew 
     C                         F            C 
So I swallow my grief and face life's final test 
        Am                       G         C 
T' find promise of peace and the solace of rest 
 
 
[Chorus 2] 
       F                                      C 
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my ears 
      Am                            G 
Their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers 
   F                              C 
My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea 
    Am                      G 
I remember the fallen... do they think of me? 
           F                      G         C 
When their bones in the ocean, forever will be 
 
 
[Verse 3] 
        C                       F           C 
When at last, before my ghostly shipmates I stand 
  Am                       G 
I shed a small tear for my home upon land 
             C                                F            C 
Though their eyes speak of depths filled with struggle and strife 
      Am                       G           C 
Their smiles below say I don't owe them my life 
 
 
[Chorus 3] 
       F                                      C 
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my eyes 
       Am                   G 
And my boat listed over and tried to capsize 
    F                            C 
I'm this far from drowning, this far from the sea 
    Am                      G 
I remember the living... do they think of me? 
        F                   G            C 
When my bones in the ocean, forever will be 
 
 
[Bridge] 
         C                       F        C 
Now that I'm staring down at the darkest abyss 
        Am                      G 
I'm not sure what I want, but I don't think it's this 
   C                         F              C 
As my comrades call to stand fast and forge on... 
       Am                          G            C 
I make sail for the dawn until the darkness has gone 
 
 
[Chorus 4] 
       F                                    C 
As the souls of the dead live fore'er in my mind 
     Am                           G 
As I live all the years that they left me behind 
     F                           C 
I'll stay on the shore but still gaze at the sea 
    Am                    G 
I remember the fallen and they think of me 
        F                   G             C 
For our souls in the ocean, together will be 
 
 
[Ending] 
    Am                    G 
I remember the fallen and they think of me... 
        F                   G             C 
For our souls in the ocean, together will be
