The Longest Johns – Bones In The Ocean (Guitar)

    C                     F            C
Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land

      C                      G
And I paddle away from Brave England's white sands

   C                      F         C
To search for my long-ago forgotten friends

   C                           G           C
To search for the place I hear all sailors end

       F                                      C
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind

     C                            G
I'll search without sleeping 'til peace I can find

  F                       C
I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea

    C                       G
I remember the fallen... do they think of me?

           F                      G         C
When their bones in the ocean, forever will be

       C                         F            C
Plot a course to the night, to a place I once knew

     C                         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

        C                        G         C
T' find promise of peace and the solace of rest

       F                                      C
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my ears

      C                             G
Their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers

   F                              C
My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea

    C                       G
I remember the fallen... do they think of me?

           F                      G         C
When their bones in the ocean, forever will be

        C                       F           C
When at last, before my ghostly shipmates I stand

  C                        G
I shed a small tear for my home upon land

             C                                F            C
Though their eyes speak of deaths filled with struggle and strife

      C                        G           C
Their smiles below say I don't owe them my life

       F                                      C
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my eyes

       C                    G
And my boat listed over and tried to capsize

    F                            C
I'm this far from drowning, this far from the sea

    C                       G
I remember the living... do they think of me?

        F                   G            C
When my bones in the ocean, forever will be

         C                       F        C
Now that I'm staring down at the darkest abyss

        C                       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...

       C                           G            C
I make sail for the dawn until the darkness has gone

       F                                    C
As the souls of the dead live fore'er in my mind

     C                            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

    C                     G
I remember the fallen and they think of me

        F                   G             C
For our souls in the ocean, together will be

    C                     G
I remember the fallen and they think of me...

        F                   G             C
For our souls in the ocean, together will be
