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