Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land
And I paddle away
from Brave England's white sands
To search for my long ago forgotten friends
To search for the place I hear all sailors end

[Chorus 1]
As the [F]souls of the dead
fill the space of my [C]mind
I'll search without sleeping 'til [G]peace I can find
I [F]fear not the weather, I [C]fear not the sea
I remember the fallen, do [G]they think of me?
When their [F]bones in the ocean,
forever [G]will [C]be

[Verse 2]
Plot a course to the night,
to a place I once knew
To a place where my hope died
along with my crew
So I swallow my grief and face life's final test
To find promise of peace
and the solace of rest

[Chorus 2]
As the [F]souls of the dead
fill the space of my [C]ears
Their laughter like children,
their [G]beckoning cheers
My [F]heart longs to join them,
sing [C]songs of the sea
I remember the fallen, do [G]they think of me?
When their [F]bones in the ocean,
forever [G]will [C]be

[Verse 3]
When at last,
before my ghostly shipmates I stand
I shed a small tear for my home upon land
Though their eyes speak of depths
filled with struggle and strife
Their smiles below say
I don't owe them my life

[Chorus 3]
As the [F]souls of the dead
fill the space of my [C]eyes
And my boat listed over and [G]tried to capsize
I'm [F]this far from drowning,
this [C]far from the sea
I remember the living, do [G]they think of me?
When my [F]bones in the ocean,
forever [G]will [C]be

[Verse 4]
Now that I'm staring down
at the darkest abyss
I'm not sure what I want,
but I don't think it's this
As my comrades call to stand fast
and forge on
I make sail for the dawn
'til the darkness has gone
[C]As the

[Chorus 4]
[F]souls of the dead live
fore'er in my [C]mind
As I live all the years that they [G]left me behind
I'll [F]stay on the shore but still [C]gaze at the sea
I remember the fallen and [G]they think of me
For our [F]souls in the ocean,
together [G]will [C]be
I remember the fallen and they think of me
For our souls in the ocean
Together will be
