[Verse 1]
C#m
On the stormy shores of Azeroth,
G#
B silhouette did stand.
A
B brave and stalwart sailor
E G#
Who gave a helpin' hand.
C#m
Without fail, on every whim,
G#
Which we did demand,
A
He simply smiled and waved his hand,
B
And sent us 'cross the land.
[Chorus]
E B
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
C#m G#
Your ship has sailed to sea.
A E
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
B
To be as great as thee.
E B C#m G#
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
A E B E
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
[Verse 2]
C#m
Time did pass, until, one day,
G#
That silhouette did fade.
A
Where once we found Placeholder
E G#
Only scattered winds remained.
C#m
The stormy sea went silent
G#
On that dark and dreary day.
A
But come along, my friends,
B
Let's raise a glass up for his name!
[Chorus]
E B
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
C#m G#
Your ship has sailed to sea.
A E
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
B
To be as great as thee.
E B C#m G#
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
A E B E
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.

[Verse 3]
C#m
So when you find yourself lamenting
G#
On that lonely pier,
A
Watching as the ships come in,
E G#
And dryin' off your tears,
C#m
Believe in what he stood for,
G#
And I know that he’ll survive.
A
Inside our hearts dear Placeholder
B
Will always be alive!
[Chorus]
E B
Farewell to thee, Placeholder,
C#m G#
Your ship has sailed to sea.
A E
We'll tip our hats and pray one day
B
To be as great as thee.
E B C#m G#
Captain P, you'll never know the emptiness inside
A E B E
As we sit ashore on Menethil, waitin' for a ride.
