The Ocean

the ocean – noah gundersen

well i’m farily sure the chords are right . not so certain on the words! esp . in
the chorus ( does he say soul , side , sign , son ? ) i dont know . soul would make sense ,
but it doesnt sound like that .
well listen to the song . and let me know what you think . i do love this one .
( capo on 3 )

capo 3

intro : Em C * Am C Em

v1 .
Em
set your eyes low , set your eyes
C *
oh west against the morning ,
Am
as i had no warning of this ,
C
when they come to wake me up .

v2 .
Em
set your sights love , set your sights
C *
oh far across the ocean ,
Am
as if i never touch the ocean ,
C D/F#
i would only come back home . . . to sleep .

chorus :
D/F# Am C G D/F#
but oh my soul ( ? ) , Am i alright , Am i alright?
D/F# Am C G Em
oh my soul , Am i alright , Am i alright?

C * Am C

v3 .
Em
cut your ties love , cut your ties ,
C *
and say i never knew you ,
Am
theyll see right through you .
C
and you cannot run and hide .

v4 .
Em
but keep the faith love , keep the faith ,
C *
though i know its gonna bring you high ( ? ) ,
Am
know its gonna bring you down ,
C D/F#
but though the devil may not take you , you never will escape this love .

chorus :
D/F# Am C G D/F#
but oh my soul , Am i alright , Am i alright .
D/F# Am C G D/F#
oh my soul , Am i alright , Am i alright .

bridge .
D/F# Am C G D/F#
still this burning in my throat , is going through all of the motions ,
D/F# Am C
and i will some day come to my home ,
G D/F# Em
and maybe one day i will reach the ocean ,
C * Am C Em .
oh , oh . oh , ohhhhhhh .

[ thats it . the second to last Em doesn’t have the bottom E string ( – 3 – 2 – ) section ,
and the final C * has variations with the top E string being played ( – 0 – 5 – ) . if
that makes sense . doesn’t really matter . listen to the song i guess . ]
cheers .
