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

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