La Mar (The Ocean) — The Beautiful Girls
Chords and lyrics for La Mar (The Ocean) by The Beautiful Girls (key of G#).
Intro
[Eb] [Cm] [G] [Ab]
[Eb]This day is getting [Cm]older,
in fading [G]light it's [Ab]beautiful.
[Eb]This wind is blowing [Cm]colder,
and too soon [G]I'll feel it's [Ab]pull.
[Eb]Still, I took all my chances,
earned[Cm] myself an even score.
[G]Try to learn my lessons [Ab]well.
[Eb]And I don't have the answers,
for [Cm]those questions anymore.
Only [G]love can be both heaven and[Ab] hell.
[Eb]So sturdy up, sturdy up your [Cm]heart,
for the [G]road is long [Ab]ahead.
I'll [Eb]be with you even though we're [Cm]apart,
but your [G]road is yours to [Ab]tread.
And so[Eb] it goes, and so [Cm]it goes,
and so [G]it goes, slows your [Ab]mind, mind, mind,
so it [Eb]goes... and so [Cm]it goes, and so [G]it goes, slows your [Ab]mind, mind, mind,
mind, mind.
I've grown old on this ocean,
gave her all, my stronger years.
Gave my wife my devotion,
when she died, the ocean my tears.
I've tried to teach you well son,
all of everything I knew.
Of how to live this life be true.
Don't bow your head to no one,
and no matter what you do,
if you start then see it through.
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
for the road is long ahead.
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
but your road is yours to tread.
And so it goes, and so it goes,
and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind.
