THE OCEAN - Noah Gundersen

Well I'm farily sure the chords are right. Not so certain on the words! esp. in 
the chorus (does he say soul,side,sign,son ?) i dont know. soul would make sense, 
but it doesnt sound like that. 
well listen to the song. and let me know what you think. i do love this one. 
(Capo on 3)

Verse: Em    C*    Am   C       Chorus:  D/F#   Am    C      G



CAPO 3


Intro :   Em   C*   Am    C    Em

 V1.
Em                                                
Set your eyes low, set your eyes 
      C*
oh west against the morning,
               Am                                     
 as I had no warning of this,
              C
 when they come to wake me up.

V2.
Em
Set your sights love, set your sights
       C*
 oh far across the ocean,
             Am 
 as if I never touch the ocean, 
             C                     D/F#
I would only come back home  ...to sleep.


Chorus:
D/F#         Am    C        G                 D/F#
But oh my Soul(?),   am I alright, am I alright?
D/F#   Am    C         G                   Em
Oh my soul,      am I alright, am I alright?

  C*   Am   C  

V3.
Em            
Cut your ties love, cut your ties,
         C*
And say I never knew you,
            Am
theyll see right through you.
           C
And you cannot run and hide.

V4. 
  Em         
But keep the faith love, keep the faith, 
           C*
though I know its gonna bring you high(?),
                      Am
know its gonna bring you down,
               C                                                 D/F#  
But though the devil may not take you, you never will escape this love.


Chorus:
D/F#      Am   C        G                 D/F#
But oh my soul,   am I alright, am I alright.
D/F#    Am   C         G               D/F#
 oh my soul,     am I alright, am I alright.


Bridge.
D/F#         Am            C              G                     D/F#
Still this burning in my throat, is going through all of the motions,
D/F#        Am                  C         
And I will some day come to my home,
          G          D/F#           Em
and maybe one day I will reach the ocean,
C*              Am             C               Em.
Oh, oh. Oh, Ohhhhhhh.




thats it. the second to last Em doesn't have the bottom E string (-3-2-) section, 
and the final C* has variations with the top e string being played (-0-5-). if 
that makes sense. doesn't really matter. listen to the song i guess. 
Cheers.
