[Verse 1]
FThirteen nights to shore
BbThat's what I bargained for
CSix months gone a hired Fhand
FRoll over the snow and ice
BbEvery day is a roll of the dice
CDreamin' of hot, white Fsand
[Pre-Chorus]
BbLord, if I'd only known how Fcold and lonely
GThe sea could be without Ccompany, I'd say
[Chorus]
FSo long to my ocean homBbe
CSo long to my dear sea, I'm Fgoing home
BbWash my face in the Fsalty water
GI've got a Cdate with the captain's Fdaughter
 F   Bb   C   Fx2
[Verse 2]
FCard game in the captain's shack
BbBet my watch, got it back
CAnd an old swingin' picture on a Fnail
FHer name was Annebel
BbI knew I would walk through Hell
CTo see that face when we dropped Fsail
[Pre-Chorus]
BbLord, if I'd only known how Fcold and lonely
GThe sea could be without Ccompany, I'd say
[Chorus]
FSo long to my ocean homBbe
CSo long to my dear sea, I'm Fgoing home
BbWash my face in the Fsalty water
GI've got a Cdate with the captain's dauFghter
[Verse 3]
FWe heard the thunder clap
BbAs the night came on pitch black
CI tried to yell through the howlin' Fwind
FThe last thing I knew was the icy Bbcold
CAs that briny wave swallowed me Fwhole
[Pre-Chorus]
BbLord, if I'd only known how Fcold and lonely
GThe sea could be without Ccompany, I'd say
[Chorus]
FSo long to my ocean homBbe
CSo long to my dear sea, I'm Fgoing home
BbWash my face in the Fsalty water
