E

[Verse 1]
          E                         A
Through a cloudy haze on the sunlit sea
   B                                 E
We waved them away from the southern quay
C#m                            A
Seventeen hands but the one in charge
    B                           E
Was one fine man from the Bayou Sauvage

[Verse 2]
     E                             A
"Mon cher, Simeon, keep safe" says I
  B                                  E
I try not to show him the tear in my eye
  C#m                           A
I said, "My love, I'll wait for you"
    B                              C#m B
Farewell sweet boy from the wide bayou


[Chorus]
E                         F#m
Where does the ocean go?
F#m             C#m  B    F#m
Should I let it take me?
F#m                 C#m  B   A
Any second they may wake me
A            F#m
Does anybody know?
A                    E
Where does the ocean go?

[Verse 3]
  E                          A
I knew back then as I always known
     B                               E
That sailors pray as the trade winds blow
        C#m                             A
But the ship went down off the coast of Spain
  B                            C#m B
I read the letter and felt his pain

[Chorus]
E                         F#m
Where does the ocean go?
F#m             C#m  B    F#m
Should I let it take me?
F#m                 C#m  B   A
Any second they may wake me
A            F#m
Does anybody know?
A                    E
Where does the ocean go?

[Verse 4]
     E                         A
Some days I walk on the harbor side
      B                            E
And I watch the sea and the rising tide
      C#m                         A
And I see him there like a sad mirage
B                         C#m B
My lost man in a Monde Sauvage


[Chorus]
E                         F#m
Where does the ocean go?
F#m             C#m  B    F#m
Should I let it take me?
F#m                 C#m  B   A
Any second they may wake me
A            F#m
Does anybody know?
A                    E
Where does the ocean go?

[Outro]
A            F#m
Does anybody know?
A                    E
Where does the ocean go?
