"Out On The Ocean" is usually heard as a G Major jig, and you'll often find it sits comfortably with G, C, and D chords which give it that bright, cheerful quality. Its flowing melody is perfect for a smooth, lilting 6/8 rhythm. An E minor (the vi chord in G) also fits in nicely, sometimes in the B part, adding a bit of extra colour. It's a popular session tune, known for its relaxed yet lively vibe. Open the arrangement to leave a comment! 👇
