F
Thirteen nights to shore
Bb
That's what I bargained for
C                       F
Six months gone a hired hand
F
Roll over the snow and ice
Bb
Every day is a roll of the dice
C                      F
Dreamin' of hot, white sand

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                          F
Lord, if I'd only known how cold and lonely
G                        C
The sea could be without company, I'd say

[Chorus]
F                      Bb
So long to my ocean home
C                           F
So long to my dear sea, I'm going home
Bb                  F
Wash my face in the salty water
G          C                       F
I've got a date with the captain's daughter

F Bb C F x2

[Verse 2]
F
Card game in the captain's shack
Bb
Bet my watch, got it back
C                                F
And an old swingin' picture on a nail
F
Her name was Annebel
Bb
I knew I would walk through Hell
C                                F
To see that face when we dropped sail

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                          F
Lord, if I'd only known how cold and lonely
G                        C
The sea could be without company, I'd say

[Chorus]
F                      Bb
So long to my ocean home
C                           F
So long to my dear sea, I'm going home
Bb                  F
Wash my face in the salty water
G          C                          F
I've got a date with the captain's daughter

[Verse 3]
F
We heard the thunder clap
Bb
As the night came on pitch black
C                                   F
I tried to yell through the howlin' wind
F                                 Bb
The last thing I knew was the icy cold
C                               F
As that briny wave swallowed me whole

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                          F
Lord, if I'd only known how cold and lonely
G                        C
The sea could be without company, I'd say

[Chorus]
F                      Bb
So long to my ocean home
C                           F
So long to my dear sea, I'm going home
Bb                  F
Wash my face in the salty water
G          C                          F
I've got a date with the captain's daughter
