Verse 
A                     D      E              A 
The storms are on the ocean, on and on they go  
A                     D        E                 A 
Searching through the waters, there you might be low  
A           D            E            A 
And I am so downhearted, never too be well  
A        D             E                    A 
And I am disappointed, the words will never tell  

 
A                     D      A                        C#m 
The storms are on the ocean, the heavens may cease to be  
C#m                     D       B11/E              E 
This world may lose its motion if I prove false to thee  

Verse 
A                    D        E                  A 
The last time that I saw you, you shook my hand goodbye  
A                  D        E               A 
You said it wasn't forever, that would be a lie  
A                    D           E                   A 
But death is such an old friend, he holds you in his hand  
A                D          E                 A 
And I am so long waiting to meet you in that land  

 
A                     D      A                        C#m 
The storms are on the ocean, the heavens may cease to be  
C#m                     D       B11/E              E 
This world may lose its motion if I prove false to thee
