Note: Not a typical "D" chord shape. It's a C grip moved up to the 5th fret. 

Basic Strumming pattern is to pick the base note of the chord and then a down/up stroke of the chord.

Sing along

OooooOoo, I saw a shinin' down below
Where the waves broke out
Caught a glimpse of the ocean's soul

OooooOoo, I walked right in from the shore
To the deepest, darkest part of the ocean floor

Deep down where those monsters are found
That the sailors talk about in their lore
I know there's a treasure that glows and
That's what I'm looking for

To be free, I'll have to take it with me
Though the ocean swears that it won't be easy
OoOoo,But the ocean don't know me
And just how tough that I can be

OooooOoo With a harpoon in my hand
I meet the creature of the deep where it makes its last stand
OooooOoo How the ocean turned and roared
The waves were so big it cut the whole world new shores
OooooOoo But now I found
That the treasure that I looked for was always around
OooooOoo The old ocean showed
That the treasure's aren't what you have but what you show

Deep down where those monsters are found
That the sailors talk about in their lore
I know there's a treasure that glows and
That's what I'm looking for

To be free, I can not take it with me
Though the ocean swears that it won't be easy
OoOoo,But the ocean don't know me
And just how tough that I can be
