Intro
[A5] [Ab5] [F#5] [Ab5] [E]
Verse
[E]This is what life is like on the [C#m]ground
[A]I had a brother who was stationed up in northern hill county,
[E]no he never really came [B5]home
[E]We drove out east to red river to see the [C#m]high water flow
That r[A]iver was running just searching for an ocean
The f[E]reedom he'd never k[B5]nown
That fe[C#m]eling you get when the wind is blowing like
your who[A]le life is starting over
We made our pe[E]ace there in the no mans l[B5]and
where we come[A5] from
Chorus
Ive been [E]searching for
The waves that c[C#m]arried us home
To the o[A]cean we all came from
Where we w[E]ont be ret[B5]urned
Ive been s[E]earching for
The waves that c[C#m]arried us home
To the o[A]cean we all came from
Where we w[E]ont be dis[B5]solved
into o[A]ne
Verse
[E]Like a simple animal running on broken l[C#m]egs that night
His v[A]oice was splintering rising, falling to a f[E]ate
he'll never get o[B5]ut
[E]From spokane all the way across montana [C#m]out to the blood reserve
[A]Black levis jacket knocking them beers back on the
[E]bank of that r[B5]iver
[C#m]Underneath September skies in s[A]outh US border
he made his pe[E]ace there
just after his b[B5]oots
filled up with w[A]ater
Chorus
Ive been [E]searching for
The waves that c[C#m]arried us home
To the o[A]cean we all came from
Where we w[E]ont be ret[B5]urned
Ive been s[E]earching for
The waves that c[C#m]arried us home
To the o[A]cean we all came from
Where we w[E]ont be dis[B5]solved
[E]Waves will wash away
the mi[C#m]sguided vision
[A]Glory in a battlefield
of a tho[E]usand cor[B5]pses
Ive been s[E]earching for
The waves that c[C#m]arried us home
To the o[A]cean we all came from
Where we w[E]ont be dis[B5]solved
[A]Out of [Ab5]the rain[F#5] [Ab5] [E]
