Upon a painted ocean

1. Come, gather 'round those who feel it's time
for savin',
G A
help
wake up the sleepy and quiet the ravings
D G A
of
cardboard cowards who'd have you feel like they do.
G Em
Ah, but look at what they've
turned the world into !
D G D
Oh, come on, come on, let's sail upon a painted
ocean,
A
Captain, set your wheel of love a-spinnin'.
D
G D
All those who are losers soon will be winnin'
a place in the sun,
G A

upon a painted ocean !

2. Ah, let your hair hang down 'til it rolls on
the ground,
G

you
won't be needing your mask for where we are bound.
D G A
And but those who place
tradition on pedestals
G Em
will
be chained to the dock and be ridiculed.

3. And I'll preach to you love until you can't hear hate,
G A
whisperin' in the ghettos of our own mistakes.
D G A
And until enough people become aware,
G Em
then
we'll stop standin' still and start are goin' somewhere.

Oh, come on, come on, let's sail upon a painted
ocean,
