[INTRO]
[C] [Am]
[VERSE]
The [C]storm when it came shook me [F]clear to my [G]keel
I [Am]lost all direction and [G]time
I had [C]no horizon, ran [F]battered and [G]blind
And the [Am]whole of the world, was the [C]great wave be[G]hind
And the [F]waves crashing on me, to [G]climb
[CHORUS]
And [Am]oh, the [G]ocean is [Am]wide
Come a [F]wind and come weather there's [C]nowhere to [G]hide
And the [F]ocean is [C]wide[F] [C]
[VERSE]
I carried my friends as a [F]friend will her [G]own
The [Am]three of us under a [G]gale
I held [C]on with the strength of [F]iron and [G]wood
And [Am]little and the human, they [C]did what they [G]could
With the [F]tiller and shortened [G]sail
[CHORUS]
And [Am]oh, the [G]ocean is [Am]wide
You [F]pray that your own ones will [C]weather the [G]ride
And the [F]ocean is [C]wide[F] [C]
[VERSE]
By crest and by hollow, by [F]dark and by [G]day
By [Am]buffet and blow we were [G]hurled
Three [C]days we drove on under [F]stays'l a[G]lone
Till the [Am]storm left us still and a[C]lone in the [G]dawn
And bright [F]calm to the edge of the [G]world
[CHORUS]
And [Am]oh, the [G]ocean is [Am]wide
Come [F]calm or come storm, you're a[C]lone in the [G]tide
And the [F]ocean is [C]wide[F] [C]
[VERSE]
Then the little fish came down the [F]bright, breathing [G]sea
From [Am]world's edge to world's edge they [G]ran
They [C]divided behind me and [F]joined at my [G]bow
And [Am]I on a silver thread, [C]rudder to [G]prow
And the [F]whole of the ocean its [G]span
[CHORUS]
And [Am]oh, the [G]ocean is [Am]wide
And the [F]web of the world's in the [C]sea by your [G]side
And the [F]ocean is [C]wide[F] [C]
[VERSE]
With a little ghost wind, then the [F]bigger fish [G]came
Blue and [Am]lovely, they danced in the [G]foam
Ah, we [C]travelled, companions, [F]all down the [G]day
Then [Am]as the breeze quickened, we were [C]off on our [G]way
And I [F]heeled in the good wind for [G]home
[CHORUS]
And [Am]oh, the [G]ocean is [Am]wide
And the [F]web of the world's in the [C]sea by your [G]side
And the [F]ocean is [C]wide[F] [C]
[CHORUS]
[Am]Oh, the [G]ocean is [Am]wide
Rise [F]well, swim easy, wher[C]ever you [G]bide
For the [F]ocean is [C]wide[F] [C]
