[Intro]

[Verse]
    Am
The waves hit the caves and the men underwater 
       D
Try to swim through the shards of light
    Am
The waves hit the caves and the men underwater 
       D
Try to swim through the shards of light


[Bridge]
    G
The ship's going down
    D
All hands overboard
  Em
I can't stay afloat
   Bm/F#
My raft's taking water 
   G                      D
My friends, if you see my oar float alone
            Am
Then you'll know I won't be back
      Em                       A
And I never made it home, wave bye


[Chorus]
              Em                 A
If you see my oar, if you see my oar
              Em                 Am
If you see my oar, if you see my oar
              Em                 D
If you see my oar, if you see my oar
              D
If you see my oar


[Verse]
    Am
The waves hit the caves and the men underwater 
       D
Try to swim through the shards of light
    Am
The waves hit the caves and the men underwater 
       D
Try to swim through the shards of light

   G                      D
My friends, if you see my oar float alone

Then you'll know I won't be back
      Em                       A
And I never made it home.  I'm gone


[Chorus]

If you see my oar, if you see my oar
              Em                 A
If you see my oar, if you see my oar
              Em                 A
If you see my oar, if you see my oar
              Em                Am
If you see my oar, if you see my oar
              Em                Am
If you see my oar, if you see my oar
              Em                Am
If you see my oar, if you see my oar
