Walk on the ocean (1992) (video)

1. We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail,

A G - C - G D A

but where are we going ? We‘re so far away.

G - C - G A Em - D - G

Somebody told me that this is the place

A G - C - G D A

where everything‘s better and everything‘s safe.

Em - G D - A

Walk on the ocean, step on the stone,

Em - G D - A

flesh becomes water, wood becomes bone.

G - C - G A Em - C - G

2. Half an hour later, we packed up our things,

A G - C - G D A

we said we‘d send letters and all of those little things,

G - C - G

And they knew we were we lying,

A Em - D - G

but they smiled just the same,

A G - C - G D A

it seemed they‘d already forgotten we came.

+ CHORUS (2x) + Em - G - D - A (4x)

G - C - G A Em - D - G

3. Back at the homestead where the air makes you choke,

A G - C - G D A

where people don‘t know you, and trust is a joke.

G - C - G A Em - D - G

Don‘t even have pictures, just memories to hold,

A G - C - G D A

grow sweeter each season as we slowly grow old.
