C   G

[Verse 1]
C                            F         C
Oh Lord I have travelled and oh I have roamed
C                                                  G
and my shoes are all worn out and my close are all torn
         C                    F          C
and it's hard to remember the places I've been
C                              G           C
and there is no way of counting half of my friends

[Chorus]
         F                  C
Now I'm down by the ocean, down by the bay
C                    G
Don't try to drag me away
F                  C           Am
Down by the ocean, down by the shore
        C           G             C
Let me sleep to the sound of it's roar
        C           G             Am    F
Let me sleep to the sound of it's ro____ar
        C           G             C
Let me sleep to the sound of it's roar

[Verse 2]
C                                F            C
I've travelled the prairies, the lone western towns
C                                           G
Spent long lonesome mornings in big factory towns
C                           F          C
Chuckled and quarreled over two spoken tongues
C                               G           C
Lived wildly and freely when my life it was young

[Chorus]
         F                  C
Now I'm down by the ocean, down by the bay
C                    G
Don't try to drag me away
F                  C           Am
Down by the ocean, down by the shore
        C           G             C
Let me sleep to the sound of it's roar
        C           G             Am    F
Let me sleep to the sound of it's ro____ar
        C           G             C
Let me sleep to the sound of it's roar

[Verse 3]
C                              F              C
Some day when I;m crazy and my eyes they just stare,
C                                    G
I might find my body a long way from here.
C                                     F             C
Well just burn me and through me in a river that's long,
C                                   G             C
And let me flow to the ocean to the words of this song,


[Chorus]
         F                  C
Now I'm down by the ocean, down by the bay
C                    G
Don't try to drag me away
F                  C           Am
Down by the ocean, down by the shore
        C           G             C
Let me sleep to the sound of it's roar
        C           G             Am    F
Let me sleep to the sound of it's ro____ar
        C           G             C
Let me sleep to the sound of it's roar
