Out on the Ocean

Capo 4th fret


C          G      F          C
Out on the ocean, out on the sea.
F         C           F        G
Nowhere I need to go, no one I need to be.
C          G           F          C
Wind in my mainsail is singing to me,
F          C      G          C   Am   G   C   Am
Out on the ocean, out on the sea.


  G        C                   Am         G      C   Am
I left the harbour at break of day; shook out my sail.
G        C                 Am          G        Em   G
I've got splashes of salty foam coming over the rail.
              F    G     Am               F       G          Am
I'm breathing easy ocean air; I'm sailing who the hell knows where.
F   C       F C     F          G
I'm in pure motion, out on the ocean.

Out on the ocean, out on the sea.
Nowhere I need to go, no one I need to be.
Wind in my mainsail is singing to me,
Out on the ocean, out on the sea.

Tomorrow's sun will find me here out on the sea,
And best of all, I'll know that you are here with me.
I've had my fill of loneliness; I asked you to, and you said yes.
Joy's my emotion, out on the ocean.

Out on the ocean, out on the sea.
Nowhere I need to go, no one I need to be.
Wind in my mainsail is singing to me,
Out on the ocean, out on the sea.

     F              C                         D
When we return, the things we've learned will come back, too.
    F                  C                  D
And all of life that's left to live, I'll live with you.
    Dm              C              G
And if the winds of life turn into gales,
Dm                  C                  G
That's when we will both shake out our sails,
    D     F
And we'll be:

Out on the ocean, out on the sea.
Nowhere I need to go, no one I need to be.
Wind in my mainsail is singing to me,
Out on the ocean, out on the sea.
Out on the ocean, out on the sea.
