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
