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