Tom: C
C F
Carry my prayers on the ocean
C G
Carry my prayers on the sea
C F
And if you are meant to be mine, love
C G C
One day you'll come home to me
[Chorus]
F C
But are you a trick of the memory
F G
That the old gods are playing on me
C F
Carry my prayers on the ocean
C G C
Carry my prayers on the sea
[Verse]
C F
Your blue eyes are there when I close mine
C G
I see your sweet face when I dream
C F
My heart is all ragged in pieces
C G C
Bleeding at every seam
[Chorus]
F C
And are you a trick of the memory
F G
That the old gods are playing on me
C F
Carry my prayers on the ocean
C G C
Carry my prayers on the sea
[Verse]
C F
I'm down on my knees at a crossing
C G
Wondering which way to go
C F
But all roads are dark through the valley
C G C
And I'll learn to walk them alone
[Chorus]
F C
And are you a trick of the memory
F G
That the old gods are playing on me
C F
Carry my prayers on the ocean
C G C
Carry my prayers on the sea
[Verse]
C F
No wine and no song can soothe me
C G
I'm pierced by the arrows of pain
C F
I'll lay in the grass by the mountain
C G C
And summon the wind and the rain
[Chorus]
F C
And are you a trick of the memory
F G
That the old gods are playing on me
C F
Carry my prayers on the ocean
C G C
Carry my prayers on the sea
C F
Carry my prayers on the ocean
C G C
Carry my prayers on the sea
