WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | The Horrors - Oceans Burning Ukulele | Ver. 1
The beauty of this song is that the harmony between the vocal melody and the
chords is just so gripping it sounds good with whatever instrument you play
it on. I just wish I had an accordion or grand piano or some sh*t.
Fairly roughly done, you might prefer it with power chords
Intro: Dm F C Dm
Dm F
In the orchard we see you once again
C Dm
Listening only with the sunlight in your arms
Dm F
It's a change to see you in my world again
C Dm
Only visiting but happy anyway
G
It's a joy
F
To see you waiting there
C
Lit up
Dm
Left glowing in the air
G
It's a joy
F
To see you waiting there
C
Writing letters
Dm
Burning in the air
Intro again
Repeat 1st verse chords:
In the picture we see you once again
Still leaning with the sunlight on your arms
Then the life sent itself into the air
Till someone came upon the frozen stare
It's a joy
To know you waiting there
Lit up
Left burning in the air
It's a joy
To see you waiting there
Writing letters
Burning in the air
Dm F
Bring all wonders to light
C Dm
Bring all wonders to light
x2
No lyrics for the next part, but:
Dm Dm C Dm
Dm
Like an ocean
Dm
Life that overcomes
Dm
Like an ocean
Dm Dm
Likely follows right behind
The only one
Then sh*t gets real. On acoustic I just play around with Em as if I know what I'm doing
following some kind of rhythm from the track.
C G Dm
On a lonely ship, we are
C G Dm
Waking like an ocean which is sighing oh
C G Dm
Even when I told you were wrong
C G Dm
Turns out you were right all along
C G
Hold me open when I am with you
Dm
Hold me open when I am with you
C
You know it's gone
G
You see me run
Dm
As if to hide
C G Dm
There on a lonely ship, filled full
C G Dm
Of an ocean which is burning oh
C G
Melt together when I am with you
Dm
Held together when I am with you
C
We had it there
G
We had it there
Dm
I could have sworn
C G Dm
Turns out you were right all along
