Rocks In The Ocean Chords by Al Stewart

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ On a night just like [C] this, in [D] a place far away, [G] he met with [D] a girl in the [G] spring. _
[D] _ _ _ [G] Something [Em] about him just turned her [Bm] around, _ _ _ as though she [D] were caught [G] on a string.
_ [D] _ _
[G] And being so [Em] young, they held on [C] to each other, _ _ [D] to see what the moment [G] might bring. _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] He loved [C] her then, [D] in a secretive way, [G] not showing his [D] care or [G] his need.
[D] _
_ [G] She'd stay [Em] _
beside him, and look to the [Bm] day, _ _ _ he would [D] somehow begin to be [G] free.
_ [D] _ [G] In the chill [Em] of the night, she would hold him [C] and say, _
_ This [D] is how they always [G] should _ be.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
Rocks in the [D] _ ocean, _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
waves on [D] the sea, _ keep that [G] in mind, if love comes [C] _ _
[F] unsatisfied, don't [C] forget me.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Don't forget [G] _
me.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [G] And so [C] he came [D] to depend on her more, [G] though the lesson [D] was still to [G] be learned.
[D] _ _ _ [G] Taking [Em] for granted the gift [Bm] that she gave, _ _ [D] as though it were something [G] he'd [D] earned. _
[G] And she fell [Em] apart, growing slowly [C] away, _ _ _ [D] from a love that was never [G] _ returned.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] And then came the [C] day [D] that he never thought so, [G] when he woke [D] and found she [G] was gone.
[D] _ _ [G] He followed her [Em] back to the ends [Bm] of the world, _ _ [D] to tell her how much he'd [G] been wrong.
[D] _ _
[G] But the more [Em] he called her, the more she [C] was lost, _ _ [D] leaving only the words of [G] her song.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
Rocks in the [D] _ ocean, _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
waves on [D] the sea, keep that [G] in mind, if love comes [C] _ unsatisfied, [F] _ don't [C] forget me.
_ _ _ _ _ _
Don't [G] forget me. _

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] This all listens [C] out for [D] her, for Thomas, _ [G] as he looks for [D] her down through [G] the years.
[D] _ And [G] the friends that [Em] he had have all left one by [Bm] _ _ _
one, [D] for there was one reaching [G] his _ [D] ears. _
[G] He chooses [Em] instead now to wander [C] alone, _ _ to [D] a song that only [G] _ he _ hears.
[Em] _ _ _
