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