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

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