Katie Melua – Where Does The Ocean Go (Guitar)

          E                         A
Through a cloudy haze on the sunlit sea

   B                                 E
We waved them away from the southern quay

C#m                            A
Seventeen hands but the one in charge

    B                           E
Was one fine man from the Bayou Sauvage

     E                             A
"Mon cher, Simeon, keep safe" says I

  B                                  E
I try not to show him the tear in my eye

  C#m                           A
I said, "My love, I'll wait for you"

    B                              C#m B
Farewell sweet boy from the wide bayou

E                         F#m
Where does the ocean go?

F#m             C#m  B    F#m
Should I let it take me?

F#m                 C#m  B   A
Any second they may wake me

A            F#m
Does anybody know?

A                    E
Where does the ocean go?

  E                          A
I knew back then as I always known

     B                               E
That sailors pray as the trade winds blow

        C#m                             A
But the ship went down off the coast of Spain

  B                            C#m B
I read the letter and felt his pain

E                         F#m
Where does the ocean go?

F#m             C#m  B    F#m
Should I let it take me?

F#m                 C#m  B   A
Any second they may wake me

A            F#m
Does anybody know?

A                    E
Where does the ocean go?

     E                         A
Some days I walk on the harbor side

      B                            E
And I watch the sea and the rising tide

      C#m                         A
And I see him there like a sad mirage

B                         C#m B
My lost man in a Monde Sauvage

E                         F#m
Where does the ocean go?

F#m             C#m  B    F#m
Should I let it take me?

F#m                 C#m  B   A
Any second they may wake me

A            F#m
Does anybody know?

A                    E
Where does the ocean go?

A            F#m
Does anybody know?

A                    E
Where does the ocean go?
