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