standard tuning

D
Maybe they come by land
 
                 Em
Maybe they come by sea

D
Maybe they've already come

                   C
Maybe they come by me

C          D      Em
Slipping into the twilight

C          D      Em
I ride the broken wave tonight

C           D      Em
An old song on the radio

C          D         Em
You knew a long time ago

C           D      Em
An old song on the radio

C         D
Going out over the ocean

Em D C   Em D  C
Carry     carry

D
Maybe it's World War I

                    Em
Maybe its World War III

D
Maybe it's Vietnam

               C
Maybe we're on TV

C        D       Em
Falling into the tall grass
 
C          D     Em
Melting into the tall grass

C            D        C
Spilling out over the lip and

 
Into the ocean

          D
Into the ocean

 Em D C    Em D   C  Em  D C
Carry carry carry    carry me

                         D               C               D
Over the ocean, over the ocean, over the ocean, over the ocean

         C          D           C         D
Over the sea  carry me over the sea carry me

D
Maybe I've come so far

                Em
Maybe I'm on my knees

D
Maybe I'm dead or alive

                  C
Maybe I'm none of these

C                 D     Em
Just an old song on the radio

C           D            Em
Someone put on a long time ago

C         D       Em
Going out over the ocean

C        D        Em
Over and over the ocean

C        D         Em
Over and over the ocean

C        D        Em
Over and over the ocean
