------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Queens Of The Stone Age-I Sat By The Ocean ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jaytee805 E-mail: jaytee805@gmail.com Visit: badjacktheband.com
Thanks to: Type7 for helping to fix the verse. tennessee90 for tabbing out the chorus.
Then it goes into the lead part. The intro lead goes like this: e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---7-9-7-9-7-------7h9-7------------7------------------------------------| G|-------------8-8---------8\6-4--6/8---6--8-9-8-6-5-6/8-------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Here is the [Verse], which is also just the chords played behind the intro riff: e|---4-4--4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4-6-6-7-7-7--7-7-7--7-2-2--2-2-2--2--------------| B|---4-4--4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4-6-6-7-7-7--7-7-7--7-2-2--2-2-2--2--------------| G|---5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-6-6-8-8-8--8-8-8--8-2-2--2-2-2--2--------------| D|---6-6--6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6-8-8-9-9-9--9-9-9--9-4-4--4-4-4--4--------------| A|---6-6--6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6-8-8-9-9-9--9-9-9--9-4-4--4-4-4--4--------------| E|---4-4--4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4-6-6-7-7-7--7-7-7--7-2-2--2-2-2--2--------------|
It does that whole thing twice, then hits the [Pre-chorus] part: e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------6-6-6-----------------------------6-6-6------------| D|---9-9-9-9--11-9------6-6-6--6-6-6---9-9-9-9--11-9------6-6-6--6-6-6-----| A|---6-7-6-7--9--7------4-4-4--6-6-6---6-7-6-7--9--7------4-4-4--6-6-6-----| E|-----------------------------4-4-4-----------------------------4-4-4-----|
Then it gets to the [Chorus], which goes: e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6---------------------------------9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---| D|---6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---| A|---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---| E|-------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------------|
Then back to the [Intro] e|---4--4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4--------------------------------------------------| B|---4--4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4--------------------------------------------------| G|---5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5--------------------------------------------------| D|---6--6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6--------------------------------------------------| A|---6--6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6--------------------------------------------------| E|---4--4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4--------------------------------------------------|
The lead part is mostly the same, but changes a little. Use the same chords as you did in the intro to play behind this part: e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---7-9-7-9-7-------7h9-7------------7------------------------------------| G|-------------8-8---------8\6-4--6/8---6--8-9-8-6-5-6/8-------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
After this part is played, it goes into a [Verse], the same as the first, and continues on the same path as it did during the first part of the song. After the {Chorus], it goes back to the second part of the [Pre-chorus] and then does the [Chorus] again, repeating that twice. Then it goes to this little [Interlude] part: e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---9-9-9-7-5--7-7-7-5-4----9-9-9-7-5--7-7-7-5-4--------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
After this, it goes back to the [Chorus] part and the song ends.

I sat by the ocean and drank a potion baby to erase you
Face down in the Boulevard, yet I couldn’t face you
There ain’t no use in crying It doesn’t change anything,
so baby what good does it do?
Your friends they all said that that’s, maybe, I don’t need them too.

There’s nowhere to run away.
Said, “boy if you want love, you’ll have to go & find it with someone new.”
“do you know who you really are? are you sure it’s really you?”
Lies are a funny thing.
They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you.
Time wounds all the heals. Then we fade out of view.

I said that I’d be your one and only
instead of a rolling one
You. Me. and a lie.
Silence is closer.
We’re passing ships in the night.
You. Me. and a lie.
Silence is closer.
We’re passing ships in the night.
