[Verse]
C                        F
  So many years, so many hardships
G                         C
  So many laughs, so many tears
C                     F
  So many things to remember
G                    C
  'Cause they had 50 years

[Verse]
C                              F                              
  Now the kids, they got their own kids
G                     C
  Their own kids have grown
C                     F
  She told him not to worry
G                                C
  Said he'd be fine when she was gone

[Chorus]
F                      C
  He walks down to the ocean
Am                                  G
Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray
C                   F
  He writes her name  in the sand
G                C
  Waves wash it away

[Verse]
C                             F        
  There are seagulls circling shrimp boats
G                      C
  That turn inside the bay
C                                F
  There's an emptiness inside
G                  C
  That never goes away

[Chorus]
F                      C
  He walks down to the ocean
Am                                  G
Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray
C                   F
  He writes her name  in the sand
G                C
  Waves wash it away

[Verse]
F                      C     
So many years, so many hardships
   Am                   G
So many laughs, so many tears
C                          F
  So many things he cannot remember
G                   C
 'Cause they had 50 years

[Chorus]
F                      C
  He walks down to the ocean
Am                                  G
Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray
C                   F
  He writes her name  in the sand
G                C
  Waves wash it away

[Outro]
C                   F
  He writes her name  in the sand
G                C
  Waves wash it away
