The Ocean by Dar Williams Guitar Chords


СAPO: 2nd Fret

INTRO: F Dm7 Dm G C

When I went to your town on the wide open shore
Oh, I must confess, I was drawn, I was drawn to the ocean
I thought it spoke to me, it said,
“Look at us, we’re not churches, not schools,
Not skating ponds, swimming pools,
And we have lost people, haven’t we though?”

Oh, that’s what the ocean can know of a body
And that’s when I came back to town
This town is a song about you
You don’t know how lucky you are
You don’t know how much I adore you
You are the welcoming back from the ocean

I went back to the ocean today
With my books and my papers, I went to the rocks by the ocean
But the weather changed quickly
Oh, the ocean said, “What are you trying to find,
I don’t care, I’m not kind, I have bludgeoned your sailors,
I’ve spat out their keepsakes”

Oh, it’s ashes to ashes, but always the ocean
But the ocean can’t come to this town
This town is a song about you
You don’t know how lucky you are
You don’t know how much I adore you
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

And the ones that can know you so well
Are the ones that can swallow you whole
I have a good and I have an evil
I thought the ocean, the ocean thought nothing
You are the welcoming back from the ocean

I didn’t go back today
I wanted to show you that I was more land than water
I went to pick flowers
I brought them to you, look at me, look at them
With their salt up the stem, but you frowned
When I smiled and I tried to arrange them

You said, “Let me tell you the song of this town”
You said, “Everything closes at five.
After that, well, you just got the bars.”
“You don’t know how precious you are
Walking around with your little shoes dangling
I am the one who lives with the ocean.
“It’s where we came from, you know.”
“And sometimes I just want to go back.
After a day, we’ll drink ’til we’re drowning
Walk to the ocean, wade in with our work-boots
Wade in our work-boots, try to finish the job.”

“You don’t know how precious you are
I am the one who lives with the ocean
You don’t know how, I am the one
You don’t know how, I am the one”

INTERLUDE: (## repeat about 15x – fade to end ##)
La la lee la la, le la la le la la la
