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