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