Al Stewart – Rocks In The Ocean (Guitar)

     G               C          D
On a night just like this, in a place far away

   G          D            G    D
He met with a girl in the spring

    G          Em                        Bm
And something about him just turned her around

   D                            G    D
As though she were caught on a string

    G        Em                         C
And being so young they held on to each other

   D                         G    D
To see what the moment might bring

G            C         D
He loved her then in a secretive way

    G           D           G   D
Not showing his care or his need

     G       Em                         Bm
She stayed beside him and looked to the day

         D                   G   D
He would somehow begin to be free

       G            Em                           C
In the chill of the night she would hold him and say

        D                      G
This is how they always should be

Em            D     Em            D
 Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea

           G       G7           C
Keep it in mind if love comes unsatisfied

F            C                G
Don't forget me, don't forget me

G         C         D           D/C
And so he came to depend on her more

           G           D          G      D
Though the lesson was still to be learned

G          Em                        Bm
Taking for granted the gift that she gave

   D              D/C            G     D
As though it were something he'd earned

    G           Em                   C
And she for her part growing slowly away

       D             D/C     G     D
From a love that was never returned

    G             C           D         D/C
And then came the day that he never foresaw

        G       D            G   D
When he woke to find she was gone

   G            Em                      Bm
He followed her then to the ends of the world

   D            D/C            G    D
To tell her how much he'd been wrong

        G       Em                           C
But the more he called her, the more she was lost

        D        D/C          G
Leaving only the words of her song

Em            D     Em            D
 Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea

           G       G7           C
Keep it in mind if love comes unsatisfied

F            C                G
Don't forget me, don't forget me

    G            C           D            D/C
He still listens out for her foot on the stair

      G             D                G    D
As he looks for her down through the years

        G               Em                       Bm
And the friends that he had have all left one by one

          D             D/C          G   D
For their words weren't reaching his ears

   G          Em                  C
He chooses instead now to wander alone

     D         D/C     G
To a song that only he hears

Em            D     Em            D
 Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea

           G       G7           C
Keep it in mind if love comes unsatisfied

F            C                G
Don't forget me, don't forget me

G  F  Em  D
          Don't forget me

G  F  Em  D
