This song was written recently when I asked a friend what the most beautiful thing he ever saw while in the Navy sailing the oceans. This is what he told me. And Jeannine if you choose to sing it… it’s half yours… and play it or change it up any way you wish to fit your voice. Lyrics and Chords GCDG When I was a sailor On the Ocean Sailing from sea to sea we sailed upon the Indian Ocean And a sight my eyes did feed Not one wave was on the Ocean Clear as glass it all gleamed The Chief yelled out To shut down the engine And the sailors gathered round Tossing Nickels in the Indian Ocean Watch um tumble in the sound Tossing Nickels in the Indian Ocean Flashing as The light rebounds All was quiet And the sun was shinning As we watched that calmest sea Of all the places That I’ve Ever been too It’s my fondest memory Tossing Nickels in the Indian Ocean Watch um tumble in the sound Tossing Nickels in the Indian Ocean Flashing as The light rebounds When we had to Leave that deep wonder before the boat began to churn I tossed a nickle For luck only hoping That again I’d see the sound Of tossing Nickels in the Indian Ocean Watch um tumble in the sound Tossing Nickels in the Indian Ocean Flashing as The light rebounds Jeannine’s Channel & Songs… www.youtube.com
