C F C
Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land
Dm G
And I paddle away from Brave England's white sands
C F C
To search for my long-ago forgotten friends
Dm G C
To search for the place I hear all sailors end
[Chorus 1]
C/E F F2 F6 C
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind
G Am/G G
I’ll search without sleeping til' peace I can find
Em F C
I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea
Dm7 G
I remember the fallen... do they think of me?
F C
When their bones in the ocean, forever will be
[Verse 2]
C F C
Plot a course to the night, to a place I once knew
Dm G
To a place where my hope died along with my crew
C F C
So I swallow my grief and face life's final test
Dm G C
T’ find promise of peace and the solace of rest
[Chorus 2]
C/E F F2 F6 C
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my ears
G Am/G G
Their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers
Em F C
My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea
Dm7 G
I remember the fallen... do they think of me?
F C
When their bones in the ocean, forever will be
[Verse 3]
C F C
When at last, before my ghostly shipmates I stand
Dm G
I shed a small tear for my home upon land
C F C
Though their eyes speak of depths filled with struggle and strife
Dm G C
Their smiles below say I don't owe them my life
[Chorus 3]
C/E F F2 F6 C
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my eyes
G Am/G G
And my boat listed over and tried to capsize
Em F C
I'm this far from drowning, this far from the sea
Dm7 G
I remember the living... do they think of me?
F C
When my bones in the ocean, forever will be
[Bridge]
C F C
Now that I'm staring down at the darkest abyss
Dm G
I'm not sure what I want, but I don't think it's this
C F C
As my comrades call to stand fast and forge on
Dm G C
I make sail for the dawn until the darkness has gone
[Chorus 4]
C/E F F2 F6 C
As the souls of the dead live fore'er in my mind
Dm G Am/G G
As I live all the years that they left me behind
Em F C
I’ll stay on the shore but still gaze at the sea
Dm7 G
I remember the fallen and they think of me
F C
For our souls in the ocean, together will be
[Ending]
Dm7 G
I remember the fallen and they think of me
F C
For our souls in the ocean, together will be
