Walk on the Ocean Lyrics

Walk On The Ocean Chords by Toad The Wet Sprocket
I saw many good attempts and one really close one. As simple as this song sounds it
has a complex progression with a tight walking bass line. Too many people are playing a
or
Em where the B is. Follow these chord forms and the progression listed and you'll hear
from the other versions. The key on the B is to be sure you don't play the
string and to strum through the chord and play the open D in the chord. Realize that all
notes are relative to the Capo on the 4th fret.

VERSE 1: (The first A is played with the 3?s on the B and E strings)
We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
But where are we going, we're so far away
Somebody told me that this is the place
where everything's better and everything's safe
CHORUS: (Play this Em open without the fingers in the ?G? position and this a ?D?
the ?F#? root, A is open as well)
Em'F#--G D A
Walk on the Ocean Step on the stone
Em'F#--G D A
Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone
VERSE 2:
A half an hour later We packed up our things
We said we'd send letters And all of those little things
And they knew we were lying But they smiled just the same
It seemed they'd already Forgotten we came
CHORUS:(2X)
BRIDGE:
(Play the chords of the chorus twice)
VERSE 3:
Now back at the homestead Where the air makes you choke
Where people don't know you And trust is a joke
Don't even have pictures Just memories to hold
It grows sweeter each season As we slowly grow old
OPTIONAL CHORUS - repeat until fade
