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