Where Does The Ocean Go

E E A Through a cloudy haze on the sunlit sea B E We waved them away from the southern quay C#m A Seventeen hands but the one in charge B E Was one fine man from the Bayou Sauvage E A "Mon cher, Simeon, keep safe" says I B E I try not to show him the tear in my eye C#m A I said, "My love, I'll wait for you" B C#m B Farewell sweet boy from the wide bayou E F#m Where does the ocean go? F#m C#m B F#m Should I let it take me? F#m C#m B A Any second they may wake me A F#m Does anybody know? A E Where does the ocean go? E A I knew back then as I always known B E That sailors pray as the trade winds blow C#m A But the ship went down off the coast of Spain B C#m B I read the letter and felt his pain E F#m Where does the ocean go? F#m C#m B F#m Should I let it take me? F#m C#m B A Any second they may wake me A F#m Does anybody know? A E Where does the ocean go? E A Some days I walk on the harbor side B E And I watch the sea and the rising tide C#m A And I see him there like a sad mirage B C#m B My lost man in a Monde Sauvage E F#m Where does the ocean go? F#m C#m B F#m Should I let it take me? F#m C#m B A Any second they may wake me A F#m Does anybody know? A E Where does the ocean go? A F#m Does anybody know? A E Where does the ocean go?
