Bones in the ocean[C] - Longest johns
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 G
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 G
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 G
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my ears
Am G
Their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers
F C G
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 G
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 G
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
[Ending]
Am G
I remember the fallen and they think of me...
F G C
For our souls in the ocean, together will be
