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
