Bones In The Ocean Tab par The Longest Johns

[Verse 1]
   C                     F        
Oh, I bid farewell to the port and 
   C
the land
     Am                     
And I paddle away from Brave 
G
England's white sands
  C                      F         
To search for my long-ago forgotten 
C
friends
  Am                          G   
To search for the place I hear all 
       C
sailors end

[Chorus 1]
      F                          
As the souls of the dead fill the 
C           G
space of my mind
    Am                           
I’ll search without sleeping til' 
G
peace I can find
 F                       C        
I fear not the weather, I fear not 
   G
the sea
   Am                      G
I remember the fallen... do they 
think of me?
          F                   
When their bones in the ocean, 
  G         C
forever will be

[Verse 2]
      C                         
Plot a course to the night, to a 
F            C
place I once knew
    Am                        G
To a place where my hope died along 
with my crew
    C                         
So I swallow my grief and face 
F            C
life's final test
       Am                       
T’ find promise of peace and the 
G         C
solace of rest

[Chorus 2]
      F                          
As the souls of the dead fill the 
C           G
space of my ears
     Am                            
Their laughter like children, their 
G
beckoning cheers
  F                              
My heart longs to join them, sing 
C            G
songs of the sea
   Am                      G
I remember the fallen... do they 
think of me?
          F                   
When their bones in the ocean, 
  G         C
forever will be

[Verse 3]
       C                       
When at last, before my ghostly 
F           C
shipmates I stand
 Am                       G
I shed a small tear for my home upon
land
            C                    
Though their eyes speak of depths 
           F            C
filled with struggle and strife
     Am                       G   
Their smiles below say I don't owe 
       C
them my life

[Chorus 3]
      F                          
As the souls of the dead fill the 
C           G
space of my eyes
      Am                   G
And my boat listed over and tried to
capsize
   F                            C  
I'm this far from drowning, this far
         G
from the sea
   Am                      G
I remember the living... do they 
think of me?
       F                   G       
When my bones in the ocean, forever 
    C
will be

[Bridge]
        C                       
Now that I'm staring down at the 
F        C
darkest abyss
       Am                      
I'm not sure what I want, but I 
G
don't think it's this
  C                         F    
As my comrades call to stand fast 
         C
and forge on...
      Am                          
I make sail for the dawn until the 
G            C
darkness has gone

[Chorus 4]
      F                      
As the souls of the dead live 
  C          G
fore'er in my mind
    Am                           
As I live all the years that they 
G
left me behind
    F                           
I’ll stay on the shore but still 
C           G
gaze at the sea
   Am                    G
I remember the fallen and they think
of me
       F                   G       
For our souls in the ocean, together
     C
will be

[Ending]
   Am                    G
I remember the fallen and they think
of me...
       F                   G       
For our souls in the ocean, together
     C
will be
