[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Ocean Station Bravo, DmNorth Atlantic Ocean
Somewhere south of AmGreenland, somewhere far from DhomeAm  
Nothing on the radar, Dmnothing on the sonar
Hove to and Amdrifting on this Docean all aAmlone
[Verse]
She was the CGC Sebago, DmOcean Station Vessel
High Endurance AmCutter, Number 4D2Am  
Studying the weather, Dmaids to navigation
Plotting ships and Amaircraft as Dthey come sailing Amthrough
[Verse]
Just a speck upon the ocean, Dmcentre of a circle
Nothing but hoAmrizon, wind and sea and Dsky
AmThis whole world in motion, Dmblowing from the Northwest
Not a hint of Amsunshine, just the Dgrey waves rolling Amby
[Verse]
Lookout calls the bridge-watch: "DmObjects in the water
Moving Surface AmContact, off the starboard Dbow"Am  
Plot 'em on the radar, Dmfire up the sonar
Listen for the Amechoes, Oh, Gcan't you hear them Amnow?
[Verse]
And there's echoes in the headphones, Dmwhale-sound from the speakers
Filling all the Amspaces inside C.I.GC.
AmSongs of love and travel, Dmsongs of generations
Echoes of the Amages in ceGtacean harmoAmny
[Verse]
But Cme, I G/Bhad to Amanswer, GI Fsang, I Emtalked, I Dmwhistled
Even played the mouth-Amharp through the microGphone
EmThey returned the Amfavour Gwith Fchirps and Emclicks and Dmwhistles
Songs of celeAmbration not so Gdifferent from our AmownDm7  Am  
[Verse]
And when the watch was over, Dmout onto the bridge wing
You can see those sounding Amsingers as they breach and sport and GplayAm  
Just a pod of humpbacks, Dmfarewell flukes a-waving
But a memory worth Amsaving as we travelled on our EmwayE7  
For we'd had a converAmsation with LeGviathan that Amday
[Verse]
Ocean Station Bravo, DmNorth Atlantic Ocean
Somewhere south of AmGreenland, somewhere far from DhomeAm  
Nothing on the radar, Dmnothing on the sonar
Hove to and Amdrifting

Hove to and drifting on this ocean all alone

[Verse]

She was the CGC Sebago, Ocean Station Vessel

Am D Am

High Endurance Cutter, Number 42

Studying the weather, aids to navigation

Am D Am

Plotting ships and aircraft as they come sailing through

[Verse]

Just a speck upon the ocean, centre of a circle

Am D

Nothing but horizon, wind and sea and sky

Am Dm

This whole world in motion, blowing from the Northwest

Am D Am

Not a hint of sunshine, just the grey waves rolling by

Lookout calls the bridge-watch: "Objects in the water

Am D Am

Moving Surface Contact, off the starboard bow"

Plot 'em on the radar, fire up the sonar

Listen for the echoes, Oh, can't you hear them now?

And there's echoes in the headphones, whale-sound from the speakers

Filling all the spaces inside C.I.C.

Echoes of the ages in cetacean harmony

Even played the mouth-harp through the microphone

They returned the favour with chirps and clicks and whistles

Am G Am Dm7 Am

Songs of celebration not so different from our own

[Verse]

And when the watch was over, out onto the bridge wing

Am G Am

You can see those sounding singers as they breach and sport and play

Just a pod of humpbacks, farewell flukes a-waving

Am Em E7

But a memory worth saving as we travelled on our way

Am G Am

For we'd had a conversation with Leviathan that day

[Verse]

Ocean Station Bravo, North Atlantic Ocean

Am D Am

Somewhere south of Greenland, somewhere far from home

Nothing on the radar, nothing on the sonar

Hove to and drifting
