The Old Captain

Fm
Round robin round
        Bbm
We were all hypnotized by the sound
       Fm
Of the tales from the old country
C                      Fm
Told for a pint and a pound
Fm
Stories of battles at sea
        Bbm
From a voice that could shake down the trees
         Fm
And the face of an angel
    C                     Fm
All battered by grand tragedy

Bbm                     Eb
Raise your glass in the air
       Fm            C
With a tear in your eye
          Bbm            Eb       C
Time has come now to bid him goodbye
Fm                      Bbm
For at first light this morn
         Fm          C
The old captain has died
         Fm         C        Fm
Let him live on in legend tonight

   Fm
No soul shared his name
        Bbm
And he sought neither fortune nor fame
         Fm
But this old dusty tavern
    C                         Fm
Is kingdom o'er with he would reign
       Fm
Not a chapter in life he forgot
        Bbm
And the truth of it all mattered not
      Fm                        C
For adventure and grandeur and rapture
                  Fm
We'd feast on the lot

            Bbm         Eb
Raise your glass in the air
       Bbm          C
With a tear in your eye
         Bbm         Eb           C
Time has come now to bid him goodbye
        Fm              Bbm
For at first light this morn
        Fm           C
The old captain has died
        Fm          C         Fm
Let him live on in legend tonight
         Bbm               Eb
Now the stars will shine brightly
   Bbm         C
No more in the sky
          Bbm             Eb         C
They have lost their best sailor to guide
They've lost their best sailor to guide
        Fm              Bbm
For at first light this morn
         Fm          C
The old captain has died
        Fm          C        Fm
Let him live on in legend tonight
