[Verse 1]
Fm
I was born in a dirty old seaport
D# Fm
Raised just on water and bread
Fm
My father drank), my mother was a whore
D# Fm
I always went hungry to bed
Fm
No work, no aim, but a burning heart
D# Fm
And the wish to leave this place
Fm
I stood there lost right on the quay
D# Fm
When a man came up to me
Fm
And he said:
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm Gm
I'm a captain
A# Cm
I see that you suffer, my friend
Gm
Come with me we're gonna sail away
A# Cm N.C.
Let me be your helping hand
[Chorus]
Fm D# A#
Get on board, get on board
Fm D# A#
The ship is put to sea tonight
Fm D# A#
Get on board, get on board
Db
The anchor is weighed
D#
So don't hesitate

Fm
I sailed around the world with him
D# Fm
Got money and got fame
Fm
And when he died I got his boat
D# Fm
And I took the captain's name
Fm
He told me what I'm living for
D# Fm
And I want to act his way
Fm
I'm gonna talk to the people in town
D# Fm
And I know what I've got to say:
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm Gm
I'm a captain
A# Cm
I see that you suffer, my friend

Come with me we're gonna sail away
A# Cm N.C.
Let me be your helping hand
