[Verse 1]
Gm
Round robin round
Cm
We were all hypnotized by the sound
Gm
Of the tales from the old country
D Gm
Told for a pint and a pound
Gm
Stories of battles at sea
Cm
From a voice that could shake down the trees
Gm
And the face of an angel
D Gm
All battered by grand tragedy
[Chorus]
Cm F
Raise your glass in the air
Gm D
With a tear in your eye
Cm F D
Time has come now to bid him goodbye
Gm Cm
For at first light this morn
Gm D
The old captain has died
Gm D Gm
Let him live on in legend tonight
[Verse 2]
Gm
No soul shared his name
Cm
And he sought neither fortune nor fame
Gm
But this old dusty tavern
D Gm
Is kingdom o'er with he would reign
Gm
Not a chapter in life he forgot
Cm
And the truth of it all mattered not
Gm D
For adventure and grandeur and rapture
Gm
We'd feast on the lot
[Chorus]
Cm F
Raise your glass in the air
Cm D
With a tear in your eye
Cm F D
Time has come now to bid him goodbye
Gm Cm
For at first light this morn
Gm D
The old captain has died
Gm D Gm
Let him live on in legend tonight
Cm F
Now the stars will shine brightly
Cm D
No more in the sky
Cm F D
They have lost their best sailor to guide
They've lost their best sailor to guide
Gm Cm
For at first light this morn
Gm D
The old captain has died
Gm D Gm
Let him live on in legend tonight
