Chords for Declan O'Rourke ~ Marrying The Sea ~ Live at The Living Room, NYC 12-1-09

Through the ocean, _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [Bb] in the [Ab] middle of the _ [Fm]
night
_ _ [Dbm] And [Bb] cause I loved her so, I [Eb] asked her then if [Ab] she would be my _ _ wife _ _
_ And [Bb] then I closed my eyes and waited
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] And I listened for [Eb] an answer
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ Until she kissed my feet and whispered _ _ _
I could not [Eb] give you my [Db] answer _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ Then as [F] she walked me up and down along the _ shore
_ _ [E] _ _ _
She [B] said you're far too young to marry [Bb] _ [E] me
_ _ For I am [Bb] old as old can be
[E] _ _ _ [G] And I have been [F] wed with many _ [E] men _ _ _ _
But for [Ab] all my love I far [Db] outlive them _ _ all _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
And [B] so I went to her [Ab] the next _ _ night
_ _ _ [Abm] _ All [B] unmarried up with _ [Db] wine
_ And I asked her for her long due [Bb]
hand
_ [Ab] _ _ For to hold hers there in mine
_ [E] _ _ _
[Bb] And then [E] once [Bb] again I [Ab] waited
_ [Db] _ _ [E] _ [Abm] And I [Dbm] listened for [Eb] a while _ _ _ _ _
[B] Until I heard her voice come [Bb] crashing in the waves
That broke all [Db] round for miles and _ miles _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] She said how could I place my [Bb] trust in thee
_ [Abm] _ _
When I am bound and you [Bb] are free _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] See so many men [Abm] have took my _ [Fm] hand _ _
[B] And so many of [Abm] them left me for [E] the land _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [F] There were fishermen, _ _ whalers, _ [Ab] seamen and sailors
_ But for all it's just [Bb] me and the _ [E] moon _
_ _ _ [F] And for each [B] star above [E] me
_ _ [Bb] Ten more have loved [Ab] _ [E] me
_ _ [Bb] How could it be different [Db] with you
_ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] And so when it was quiet on the [Abm] third night
_ _ [E] _ _
_ I [E] said my life is in your hands _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] You can keep me for the [Bb] time I have
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B]
Or I'll lie [Abm] here on the _ _ sand
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] And it was quiet on the [Ab] third _ _ [E] night _
_ [F] _ [Ab] As I took off my _ _ _ shoes _ _ _ _
But as I walked [Gb] into her _ arms
She _ [Bb] _ [E] said _ _ _ _ [G] sure [Ab] what have I to [Db] _ _ _ _
lose
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
