24 Jan 03 - 12:15 PM (#873883) Subject: Guitar Chords 'The Ocean Ranger' From: Winters Wages I am trying to locate the guitar chords for a tune called "The Ocean Ranger" A song about the sinking of an oil platform off the coast of Newfoundland back in 1982. A story about it was featured on the *Weather Channel" Last evening. Sounds like a great tune. Thanks WW |

I wrote one myself, I was playing in a Newfie club at the time. I know that Michael T. Wall ( a newfoundland singer) also wrote one, as did many other people.I don't know which one Winters wages is looking for, I know it's not mine anyway. I will try to find the words to mine and submit them as well, it's been so long that I forgaot about them. |
