Ocean by The Velvet Underground
This is the same song as the previous version (transcribed from Fully Loaded)
but has a tuning more similar to the song heard on the album VU (the older
version of the song)
E G A G E
E G
Here comes the ocean
A G
And the waves down by the sea
E G
Here comes the ocean
A G
And the waves, where have they been?
E D
Lying here on the beach
C
With you it seems out of reach
A
It could just drive me crazy
E D
You're such a lazy son
C
But you're the only one
A
I could stay here forever...
E A
...But here comes the waves
E A
Down by the shore
E G
Washing our eyes
A G
Then it's gone, just once more
E G A G
Down by the sea
E G A G
Down by the sea
E G A
Here comes the ocean and the waves
G
Down by the sea
E G A
Here comes the ocean and the waves
G
Where have they been?
E D
Lying down on the beach
C
It seems out of reach
A
Doesn't it just, drive you crazy
E D
You know that you feel so strong
C
But you know it won't be long
A
Til it's all underwater...
E A
...But here comes the waves
E A
Down by the shore
E G
Washing our eyes
A G
Til it's gone, just once more
E G A G
Down by the sea
