Ocean Station Bravo, North Atlantic Ocean
          A minorAm              D MajorD   A minorAm
Somewhere south of Greenland, somewhere far from home
           DmDm
Nothing on the radar, nothing on the sonar
      A minorAm        D MajorD     A minorAm
Hove to and drifting on this ocean all alone

            DmDm
She was the CGC Sebago, Ocean Station Vessel
        A minorAm       D MajorD A minorAm
High Endurance Cutter, Number 42
           DmDm
Studying the weather, aids to navigation
          A minorAm     D MajorD         A minorAm
Plotting ships and aircraft as they come sailing through

Verse:
               DmDm
Just a speck upon the ocean, centre of a circle
       A minorAm           D MajorD
Nothing but horizon, wind and sea and sky
A minorAm             DmDm
This whole world in motion, blowing from the Northwest
       A minorAm         D MajorD         A minorAm
Not a hint of sunshine, just the grey waves rolling by

Verse:
                 DmDm
Lookout calls the bridge-watch: "Objects in the water
        A minorAm             D MajorD   A minorAm
Moving Surface Contact, off the starboard bow"
            DmDm
Plot 'em on the radar, fire up the sonar
        A minorAm     G+G          A minorAm
Listen for the echoes, Oh, can't you hear them now?

Verse:
                   DmDm
And there's echoes in the headphones, whale-sound from the speakers
        A minorAm        G+G
Filling all the spaces inside C.I.C.
A minorAm            DmDm
Songs of love and travel, songs of generations
       A minorAm    G+G      A minorAm
Echoes of the ages in cetacean harmony

Verse:
  C majorC   G/BG/B  A minorAm   G+G FF    E minorEm    DmDm
But me, I had to answer, I sang, I talked, I whistled
           A minorAm          G+G
Even played the mouth-harp through the microphone
E minorEm        A minorAm  G+G   FF     E minorEm     DmDm
They returned the favour with chirps and clicks and whistles
       A minorAm       G+G         A minorAm  Dm7Dm7 A minorAm
Songs of celebration not so different from our own

Verse:
               DmDm
And when the watch was over, out onto the bridge wing
              A minorAm                  G+G   A minorAm
You can see those sounding singers as they breach and sport and play
             DmDm
Just a pod of humpbacks, farewell flukes a-waving
          A minorAm              E minorEm E7E7
But a memory worth saving as we travelled on our way
           A minorAm      G+G      A minorAm
For we'd had a conversation with Leviathan that day

Verse:
           DmDm
Ocean Station Bravo, North Atlantic Ocean
          A minorAm              D MajorD   A minorAm
Somewhere south of Greenland, somewhere far from home
           DmDm
Nothing on the radar, nothing on the sonar
      A minorAm
Hove to and drifting
