Chords with lyrics
From [email protected] Tue Apr 8 13:08:25 1997
standard tuning, no capo. Each chord name or dash indicates one dotted
quarter note (one beat, since the song is in 12/8 most of the time).
Frequently on successive 
A augmentedA chords, Dar does a hammer-on/pull-off, so
A-Asus4 is more accurate. Similarly, on successive 
D MajorD chords, she
frequently does D-Dsus2 (pulling off on the high 
E MajorE string). Finally, the
pattern 
G+G - 
E minorEm - is frequently really G+G G/F# E minorEm Em (listen for a
descending bass line on the recording to find out exactly when). This
transcription condenses the acoustic and electric guitar parts, is
faithful primarily to the acoustic part, and is playable on a solo
acoustic.

version 2
The Ocean
by Dar Williams
from her album _Mortal City_, published by Razor & Tie Entertainment, LLC.
All of the chords here are pretty straightforward. G/F# is just your
usual G+G major with an 
F#F# in the bass (that's 2nd fret on the low E MajorE
string). Instead of specifying major and minor, I've used capital letters
for major and lower-case for minor.
On the album there's a lot of extra stuff - electic guitar, violin, bass,
drums. It does OK with just voice and acoustic guitar, though.
I wrote out the rhythm for the intro; for the rest you're on your own.
