[Verse 1]
Fm
Round robin round
A#m
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
A#m
From a voice that could shake down the trees
Fm
And the face of an angel
C Fm
All battered by grand tragedy
[Chorus]
A#m Eb
Raise your glass in the air
Fm C
With a tear in your eye
A#m Eb C
Time has come now to bid him goodbye
Fm A#m
For at first light this morn
Fm C
The old captain has died
Fm C Fm
Let him live on in legend tonight
[Verse 2]
Fm
No soul shared his name
A#m
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
A#m
And the truth of it all mattered not
Fm C
For adventure and grandeur and rapture
Fm
We'd feast on the lot
[Chorus]
A#m Eb
Raise your glass in the air
A#m C
With a tear in your eye
A#m Eb C
Time has come now to bid him goodbye
Fm A#m
For at first light this morn
Fm C
The old captain has died
Fm C Fm
Let him live on in legend tonight
A#m Eb
Now the stars will shine brightly
A#m C
No more in the sky
A#m Eb C
They have lost their best sailor to guide
They've lost their best sailor to guide
Fm A#m
For at first light this morn
Fm C
The old captain has died
Fm C Fm
Let him live on in legend tonight
