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

[Verse 2]
Em
I sailed around the world with him
D Em
Got money and got fame
Em
And when he died I got his boat
D Em
And I took the captain's name
Em
He told me what I'm living for
D Em
And I want to act his way
Em
I'm gonna talk to the people in town
D Em
And I know what I've got to say:
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m
I'm a captain
A Bm
I see that you suffer, my friend
F#m
Come with me we're gonna sail away
A Bm N.C.
Let me be your helping hand
