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