Azure Ray - Chords - Sea of Doubts

by Frank Gualtier -- 09/01/07

Piece by piece I've been reeling in my transcriptions from the web so that they have a home under the roof from which they sprung.

This is my chord transcription of Azure Ray's song Sea of Doubts from their final album Hold on Love.

'Hold on Love' marked both the zenith and the end of 'Azure Ray'.

Thankfully both members of the duo, Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor, have gone on to individually create music of equal and evolving quality and mood.

So despite the bit of sour grapes some of us felt at the disbandment of 'Azure Ray', it turns out that now we get the best of each of this duo's work coming at us in parallel.

Sour grapes to fine wine -- no alchemy required.

Sea of Doubts by Azure Ray
   Intro
   C    /    Em   /    C    /    Em   /

     C            /          Em   /
   i told them all the ones i love
       C            /          Em   Dm
   i'm leaving and i may not return
      C           /        Em   /
   see lately i've been overcome
       C             /           Em   Dm
   the feeling i fear has just begun

       F           C
   the pain i feel deep inside
        F                  C
   that haunts us all that we will die
   F            C              G    /    /    /
   never really knowing how it feels

          C    F    G    Em
   to be alive
          C    F    G    Em

           C            /    Em   /
   through mountains and over seas
           C            Em   Dm
   through misery and disease
     C        /           Em   /
   a spectator i played my part
       C            /         Em   Dm
   but nothing could move this heart

     F              C
   until i held the boy's hand
       F                C
   the little one spoke like a man
      F      
   he showed me death and said
   C               G    /        /    /
   this is how you know  you're alive

    C    F    G    Em
    C    F    G    Em
   alive

     C         /  Em   Dm   /
   a kingfisher in flight
          F         /             C    /
   you'll rise above this sea of doubts
     F         /         C    / (last beat silent on "yah")
   into a world full of clouds - yah

   C    /    Em   /
   C    /    Em   Dm
   F    C    F    C
   F    C    G    /    /    /

   (repeat 4 times)
    C    F    G    Em
   alive

    C (silent after first beat and a capella to finish)
   alive
   alive
