Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse:
  Db          Gb      Db
Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land
               Ab
and I paddle away from brave England's white sands
  Db           Gb    Db
To search for my long ago forgotten friends
                Ab     Db
to search for the place I hear all sailors end

Chorus:
    Gb                   Db
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind
                 Ab
I'll search without sleeping 'til peace I can find
 Gb           Db
I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea
              Ab
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
      Gb          Ab    Db
When their bones in the ocean forever will be

Verse:
    Db               Gb      Db
Plot a course through the night, to a place I once knew
                Ab
To a place where my hope died, along with my crew
   Db            Gb      Db
So I swallow my grief and face life's final test
                 Ab    Db
to find promise of peace and the solace of rest

Chorus:
    Gb                   Db
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my ears
                  Ab
their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers
  Gb               Db
My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea
             Ab
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
      Gb          Ab    Db
When their bones in the ocean forever will be

Verse:
    Db           Gb     Db
When at last before my ghostly shipmates I stand
              Ab
I shed a small tear for my home upon land
       Db                Gb      Db
though their eyes speak of deaths filled with struggle and strife
                 Ab     Db
their smiles, below, say I don't owe them my life

Chorus:
    Gb                   Db
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my eyes
              Ab
and my boat listed over and tried to capsize
  Gb              Db
I'm this far from drowning, this far from the sea
             Ab
I remember the living, do they think of me?
    Gb          Ab    Db
When my bones in the ocean forever will be

Verse:
     Db           Gb    Db
Now that I'm staring down at the darkest abyss
                Ab
I'm not sure what I want, but I don't think it's this
  Db            Gb       Db
As my comrades call to stand fast and forge on
                 Ab      Db
I make sail for the dawn 'til the darkness has gone

Chorus:
    Gb                 Db
As the souls of the dead live for'er in my mind
                 Ab
as I live all the years that they left me behind
   Gb             Db
I'll stay on the shore but still gaze at the sea
             Ab
I remember the fallen and they think of me
    Gb          Ab     Db
For our souls in the ocean together will be

(Single Strum)
  Db          Ab
I remember the fallen and they think of me
    Gb          Ab     Db
For our souls in the ocean together will be
