The Longest Johns – Bones In The Ocean (Ukulele)

    Db                    Gb           Db
Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land

                             Ab
and I paddle away from brave England's white sands

   Db                     Gb        Db
To search for my long ago forgotten friends

                               Ab          Db
to search for the place I hear all sailors end

       Gb                                     Db
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind

                                  Ab
I'll search without sleeping 'til peace I can find

  Gb                      Db
I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea

                           Ab
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?

           Gb                    Absus4 Ab   Db
When their bones in the ocean forever   will be

       Db                             Gb           Db
Plot a course through the night, to a place I once knew

                               Ab
To a place where my hope died, along with my crew

     Db                        Gb           Db
So I swallow my grief and face life's final test

                                 Ab        Db
to find promise of peace and the solace of rest

       Gb                                     Db
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my ears

                                    Ab
their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers

   Gb                             Db
My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea

                          Ab
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?

           Gb                    Absus4 Ab   Db
When their bones in the ocean forever   will be

        Db                     Gb          Db
When at last before my ghostly shipmates I stand

                           Ab
I shed a small tear for my home upon land

             Db                               Gb           Db
though their eyes speak of deaths filled with struggle and strife

                                 Ab          Db
their smiles, below, say I don't owe them my life

       Gb                                     Db
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my eyes

                            Ab
and my boat listed over and tried to capsize

    Gb                           Db
I'm this far from drowning, this far from the sea

                          Ab
I remember the living, do they think of me?

        Gb                    Absus4 Ab   Db
When my bones in the ocean forever   will be

         Db                      Gb        Db
Now that I'm staring down at the darkest abyss

                                Ab
I'm not sure what I want, but I don't think it's this

   Db                        Gb             Db
As my comrades call to stand fast and forge on

                                  Ab           Db
I make sail for the dawn 'til the darkness has gone

       Gb                                  Db
As the souls of the dead live for'er in my mind

                                  Ab
as I live all the years that they left me behind

      Gb                         Db
I'll stay on the shore but still gaze at the sea

                          Ab
I remember the fallen and they think of me

        Gb                   Absus4 Ab   Db
For our souls in the ocean together will be

    Db                    Ab
I remember the fallen and they think of me

        Gb                   Ab          Db
For our souls in the ocean together will be
