Drop In The Ocean chords by Hudson Taylor

• Capo on 1st

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: F

Difficulty: Novice

The original is with 2 guitars, so this is just an approximation but is as good as I could get it.

The Asus4 in the instrumental is to simulate what was played in the intro and verse. The Em11 is just all open
strings.

(for these last two lines the chords are just strummed once)

Break:
A                                  B
Suddenly, we're at the stage where all I know
   A                                  B
Is rugged rage and words that blaze into the bone
A                              B
I don't want a world at war so let me go
            A                           B
It's just a thought that I throw on the ocean
       A                           B
Just a thought that I throw on the ocean
