Chords for Barbra Streisand - How Deep Is the Ocean (Official Video)

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ [F] _ My first duet was [Am] with my son.
_ _ [Gm] When he was a baby, [F] we used to sing together,
and he knew the words [C] to all my songs,
like from Funny Girl [Cm] and Hello, Dolly.
Later [D] on, when he was 15 years old,
I walked by his room, [G] and I hear this beautiful humming.
So I [Cm] put my ear to it, you know, and it's my son, Jason,
but his door was [G] locked, of course.
[Cm] Jason, was that you?
No, Mom, it's okay.
I mean, can I come in?
I just want [Ab] to hear you [Em] hum like [Fm] that [Gbm] again.
I [Gm] started exploring [Eb] singing and music [Cm] late in life.
It was not something I really thought I [Gm] would ever do,
_ [Ebm] you know, because [Gb] my mother was such an [Cm] icon
that I [Eb] thought, well, I can't open my mouth.
[Ab] People would compare me, and I just didn't think I'd ever want to go there.
But I also had a need to express myself and [F] explore [Eb]
my own musicality.
[Ab] _ When he played [Gb] me some of the [Ab] things he _ recorded,
[Fm] it was [Bb] jaw [Eb]-dropping, you know, to hear him.
Because [F] I thought, wait a minute, [Abm] I mean, how did [Eb] he, what?
Where has this been?
_ _ 66, _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] second violins.
[Gm]
How Deep is the Ocean was the [F] first song I found that I chose to sing.
But when she heard [G] it, she thought [A] that would make a great duet.
[C] _ [B] For a mother and son, the lyric [D] was so right for what I felt towards him.
I _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] mean, singing a song like this with your mother is, [Cm] it's personal. _ _
How much [Ab] do I love _ [G] you?
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ I'll tell you no _ lie.
[D] _ [G] _ [Fm] _ [Gb] _
_ [Gm] _ _ How [Eb] deep is [Cm] the ocean?
_ [D] _ [Gb] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Gb] How high is [Fm] the sky?
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] How many times _ a _ [Cm] _ _ [Ab] day _
do [B] I [Ab] think of you?
_ _ [Am] _ [Bb] _ [B] _ _ _
And how many [F] roses _ _
[Eb] are _ [Ab] _ _ sprinkled [Eb] with dew?
_ _ _ I said, you know, you've got to [Ab] come on tour with me and sing it.
He says, [Eb] I don't want to perform live.
I don't [D] want to sing in clubs.
I don't, [G] what do you mean?
Like, I didn't know what [Cm] he would be like, [Gm] you [D] know, singing in front [C] of thousands of people. _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ And he started to sing and this [C] sound just flowed from [Gm] him.
How [Gb] high _ [Fm] is the _ [Eb] sky? _ _ _ _ _ _
No real fear that [Ab] I could [Cm] sense.
It's about [C] love.
It's about [Bb] the depth of feeling of [B] love.
_ [Ab] I love my mother and I [B] know she loves me.
It was [Ebm] my favorite [D] moment in the show.
I mean, to have my [Dbm] son come out and share that stage with me.
_ [Gb] _
God, [B] that was a highlight for me.
And if [Gbm] I [Ab] ever lost _ you,
[Dbm] _ _ _ how much [B]
would [Em] I _ _ _ _ [A] cry?
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] How deep is [Abm] the _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ ocean?
_ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ [Eb] How _
[Dbm] _ _ [Eb] _ [E] high _ _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] is the _ [A] sky?
[Bm] _ _ _ I sent him a copy and he went, Mom, that's [B] really good. _ _
You were fabulous. _ _ _ _
