               G/B  Cadd9  G
We spotted the ocean,

       A/C#        G/B  Cadd9  G
At the head of the trail,

A/C#         G/B  Cadd9  G
Where are we goin',

G       A  Asus4 A
So far away?

             G/B  Cadd9  G
And somebody told me,

     A/C#        Em  D/F#  G
That this is the place,

      A/C#         G/B  Cadd9  G
Where everything's better,

    D/F#         A  Asus4 A
And everything's safe.
[Chorus]
A           Em7  D/F# G
Walk on the ocean,

            D    A/C#
Step on the stones,

              Em  D/F# G
Flesh becomes water,

             D  A/C#
Wood becomes bone . . ..
[Verse 2]
                 G  Cadd9  G
And half an hour later,

   A/C#   Asus4/C#  A/C#  Em7 Cadd9 G
We packed up  our   things,

A/C# Asus4/C#  A/C# Em7   Cadd9 G
Said we'd      send letters,

    D/F#         A       Asus4  A   A
And all of those little things,

         A/C#   Asus4/C#  A/C#  Em7 Cadd9 G
And they knew   we        were  lyin',

         A/C#   Asus4/C#  A/C# Em7   D/F# G
But they smiled just      the  same,

   A/C#   Asus4/C#  A/C#  Bm Cadd9 G
It seemed they'd    al----ready,

   D/F#        A  Asus4 A
Forgotten we'd came.
[Chorus]
A           Em7  D/F# G
Walk on the ocean,

            D    A/C#
Step on the stones,

              Em  D/F# G
Flesh becomes water,

             D  A/C#
Wood becomes bone . . ..

A           Em7  D/F# G
Walk on the ocean,

            D    A/C#
Step on the stones,

              Em  D/F# G
Flesh becomes water,

             D  A/C#
Wood becomes bone . . ..
[Instrumental] Em D/F# G D A/C# Em D/F# G D A/C# Em D/F# G D A/C# Em D/F# G D A/C# [Outro]
                 G  Cadd9  G
Now, back at the homestead,

          A/C#  Asus4/C#  A/C#  Em7 Cadd9 G
Where the air   makes     you   choke,

    A/C#   Asus4/C#  A/C# Em7   Cadd9 G
And people don't     know you,

    D/F#       A    A   A
And trust is a joke,

                G  Cadd9  G
Don't even have pictures,

     A/C#  Asus4/C#  A/C# Em7   D/F# G
Just memo--ries      to   hold,

     A/C#   Asus4/C#  A/C#  Bm Cadd9 G
Grow sweet--er        each  season,

      D/F#        A
As we slowly grow old.
