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