Dar Williams - The Ocean
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: F Dm7 Dm G C
F Dm
When I went to your town on the wide open shore
G C F
Oh, I must confess, I was drawn, I was drawn to the ocean
C Dm
I thought it spoke to me, it said,
G Am F
"Look at us, we're not churches, not schools,
G Am F
Not skating ponds, swimming pools,
Dm
And we have lost people, haven't we though?"
G C
Oh, that's what the ocean can know of a body
F G
And that's when I came back to town
Em
This town is a song about you
F G Am F
You don't know how lucky you are
G Am F G
You don't know how much I adore you
Am F G Dm G C
You are the welcoming back from the ocean
Dm
I went back to the ocean today
G C F
With my books and my papers, I went to the rocks by the ocean
C Dm
But the weather changed quickly
G Am F
Oh, the ocean said, "What are you trying to find,
G Am F
I don't care, I'm not kind, I have bludgeoned your sailors,
Dm
I've spat out their keepsakes"
G C
Oh, it's ashes to ashes, but always the ocean
F G
But the ocean can't come to this town
Em
This town is a song about you
F G Am F
You don't know how lucky you are
G Am F G
You don't know how much I adore you
Am F G Dm G C
You are the welcoming back from the ocean
INTERLUDE: F G Am F Dm G C
La la lee la la, le la la le la la la (3x) la
F G
And the ones that can know you so well
Em
Are the ones that can swallow you whole
F G Am F
I have a good and I have an evil
G Am F G
I thought the ocean, the ocean thought nothing
Am F G Dm G C F
You are the welcoming back from the ocean
Am Dm
I didn't go back today
G C F
I wanted to show you that I was more land than water
Am Dm
I went to pick flowers
G Am F
I brought them to you, look at me, look at them
G Am F
With their salt up the stem, but you frowned
Dm
When I smiled and I tried to arrange them
G C
You said, "Let me tell you the song of this town"
F G
You said, "Everything closes at five.
Em
After that, well, you just got the bars."
F G Am F
"You don't know how precious you are
G Am F G
Walking around with your little shoes dangling
Am F G Dm
I am the one who lives with the ocean.
G
"It's where we came from, you know."
Em
"And sometimes I just want to go back.
F G Am F
After a day, we'll drink 'til we're drowning
G Am F G
Walk to the ocean, wade in with our work-boots
Am F G C
Wade in our work-boots, try to finish the job."
F G Am F
"You don't know how precious you are
G Am F G
I am the one who lives with the ocean
Am F Am
You don't know how, I am the one
F G Am Dm
You don't know how, I am the one"
